mouse-over/tooltip texts

[arlogriffiths]

@danbalogh and @michaelnmmeyer —

I notice that several of the little descriptions that pop up with mouse-over (I Dan calls this tooltip) are neither direct expressions of the TEI elements nor identical to what we say on https://dharmalekha.info/editorial-conventions.

I attach some screenshots as examples:

• why "Line start" and not "Line beginning" for <lb>?
• why give more than "Superfluous text" for <surplus>?
• why "Foliation work" and not "Forme work" for <fw>? (Though since "forme work" is such a specialized term, that I'd never heard before the start of DHARMA in 2019, maybe a more generally understandable expression like "Foliation" without "work" would be desirable.)

Could you work together to make sure all relevant messages have Dan's approval? I am happy to trust his judgment.

If @michaelnmmeyer could prepare a list of what tooltip is shown for what code, I should be able to suggest improvements. This could perhaps be integrated with our collaboration on the cheatsheet/conventions list, though it may be better to keep the two separate. I do, however, think that tooltips should be kept relatively simple, and that means that they may not be 100% appropriate in all cases. Thus, @arlogriffiths , I'm not sure what your problem is with the tooltip "Superfluous text erroneously added by the scribe", but if it is that the suppressed comma is not really "text", then I think this is within tolerance.

[arlogriffiths]

I meant that "Superfluous text erroneously added by the scribe" seems redundant to me. Why would "Superfluous text" not be sufficient?

[michaelnmmeyer]

I will create a sample file that enumerates all possible cases. This will take some time, though.

[danbalogh]

Thanks, I don't think this is urgent. If we leave this thread open, I'll get an alert when you mention it here; or you can just send me the sample file directly over email.

Here's another thing that doesn't seem right.

Code:

 <lg xml:lang="san-Latn" met="śārdūlavikrīḍita" n="34">
 <l n="a"><supplied reason="lost" evidence="previouseditor">sādhūnām pathi yātu paura-samitir dharmyā gatir ma</supplied>ntriṇām</l>
 <l n="b">bhūyād bhūta-hiteṣiṇo muni-janā Itthan na me prārthanā</l>
<l n="c">yasmiñ jīvati rājñi ra<lb break="no" n="A36"/><supplied reason="lost" evidence="previouseditor">kṣati bhuvan dharmeṇa siddhyanti te</supplied></l>
<l n="d"><supplied reason="lost" evidence="previouseditor">tasmāc chrī-jala</supplied>laṅga-deva-nr̥-patir dīrghaṁ sa jīvyād iti ⊙ // ⊙</l>
</lg>

Display:

Note wrong explanation of @evidence of <supplied>.

[michaelnmmeyer]

For this one I inadvertently swapped the two possible values of @evidence. The expected tooltips were:

parallel       restoration based on parallel
previouseditor restoration based on previous edition (not assessable)
