Failing better at understanding the past
On to the next stage of digitizing Sandall’s History of 5th Lincolnshire Regiment. Having marked up the structure of the text and written XSLT to split the book into several HTML pages with working internal links, I could move on to Phase 2: marking up name, dates, and abbreviations.
My project to digitize T. E. Sandall’s history of the 1/5th Lincolnshire regiment in the First World War has made very good progress this week. I’ve now uploaded a new HTML version. This features links to page images and a working index: if you click on a page number in the index it takes you to the corresponding part of the text. The whole book is still on one page as I haven’t worked out how to split it yet but it’s an improvement over the previous interim version. Below are more details of what I’ve done and how I’ve done it.
