Summary

s.1

The Summary should appear here:

This is a layout check. Toh 83 is used as a model, but various sections of other sūtras have been brought in to test certain scenarios. Specific layout check instructions will be pasted into the top of each section. Otherwise a minimum of one paragraph has been left from Toh 83. Note that a tantra warning has been arbitrarily added as a test. Please check that the tantra warning appears on the title page above. Note there is a second summary in Chinese below this one, which is only present within the TEI, but it should not be displayed (These are only displayed on the Chinese website). Glossary test: consciousness.

Prologue

The Initial Reference

[O1] [F.71.a]9 [B1]

p.1

The first folio references should be shown in their own line above the opening paragraph, along with related notes.

Subsequent folios should be inline with the text [O2] [F.71.b] [B2].

Check also edge cases where there are unusual initial folio references: Toh 336 1.1

The Translation Title

p.2

Note that the translation title above is the standard format with three headings for 1) “The Translation”, 2) Honorific Titles, and 3) the Main title.

Please check a text with no honorific title such as Toh 298 and Toh 846

Sample Prologue

Chapter 1

Test For Chapters

1.1

[O3] [F.72.a] [B3] First folio references in subsequent chapters should be inline.

1.2

There are two chapter headings above, one gives the chapter number as “Chapter 1” and the second gives the chapter title as “Test For Chapters”.

Some texts have only the first heading giving the chapter number, see Toh 106.

Chapter 2

Line Groups

Line groups from Toh 1. These are “spyi sdom” and can just be rendered as italicized line groups:

2.1

At first to renounce a householder’s concerns and go forth is hard.

For a hedonist to be happy among renunciants is hard.

For the joyful set on perfection to act perfectly is hard.

For a learned wearer of the saffron robes to fall is hard.

T00C

2.2

The Chapters on Monastic Discipline includes chapters on:

Going forth, purification,

Lifting restrictions, the rains, leather,

Medicine, robes, turning cloth into robes,

The monks of Kauśāmbī, formal acts of saṅgha,

A group of troublesome monks, types of persons,

Demotions, suspension of the purification,

Housing, disputes, and schisms in the saṅgha.10

T00C

Chapter 3

Trailers

3.1

Below is a trailer, it should be entirely italicized:

3.2

This concludes the section of “The Questions of the Merchant Bhadrapāla,” the thirty-ninth section of “The Noble Dharma Discourse, the Great Heap of Jewels,” in one hundred thousand sections.

Chapter 4

Nested sections in Chapters

4.1

We will now test nesting in paragraphs. There should be two subsections within, this Chapter 4. The second section B will test maxing out the subsections:

Chapter 4 - Section A

4.2

This is the first paragraph of Chapter 4 - Section A.

Chapter 4 - Section B

4.3

This is the first paragraph of Chapter 4 - Section B. We will not proceed to max the subsections out by 10 levels. For a contextual example of an 8th level division see also Toh 287. :

Chapter 4 - Section B.1 (4th Level)

Chapter 4 - Section B.1.1 (5th Level)

Chapter 4 - Section B.1.1.1 (6th Level)

Chapter 4 - Section B.1.1.1.1 (7th Level)

Chapter 4 - Section B.1.1.1.1.1 (8th Level)

Chapter 4 - Section B.1.1.1.1.1.1 (9th Level)

Chapter 4 - Section B.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 (10th Level)

Chapter 5

Hanging Indent

5.1

From Toh 193, the third line below should have a hanging indent:

5.2

Mahāsthānagataśrī (Glory Present in Great Places),11

Sarvadevatābhimukhaśrī (Glory in the Presence of All Gods),12

Sarvadevanāgayakṣagandharvāsuragaruḍakiṃnaramahoragaśrī (Glory of All the Gods, Nāgas, Yakṣas, Gandharvas, Asuras, Garuḍas, Kiṃnaras, and Mahoragas),

Sarvavidyādharavajrapāṇivajradharaśrī (Glory of All the Vidyādharas, Vajrapāṇi and Vajradharas),

Pointers

6.1

Here is a pointer linking to a milestone in the introduction at i.3. Here is the same pointer embedded in some text.

6.2

Here is a pointer inside this endnote linking to the bibliography13.

6.3

Here is a pointer to a note (n.11) which should open the pop-up rather than link to the notes section. Whereas a pointer to a note (n.6) in a different text should open the pop-up in that text, not this one.

6.4

Here is a pointer inside the glossary term, “consciousness.” Which links to the introduction and a note.

6.5

External links:

As of December 2022 we will now be using <ptr> tags for external links to 84000 texts so that the displayed milestone will be automatically updated. There are still external links that use <ref> tags but these will be updated eventually. <ref> should still be used for non-84000 links. Here is a list of the current scenarios:

Using <ref> to link to the Vienna website

Old method using <ref>: a link to another 84000 text, Toh 83 at milestone 1.61 ("1.61" is hard-typed).

New method using <ptr>: a link to another 84000 text, Toh 83 at milestone 1.61 ("1.61" should be generated automatically).

ap5.157 references Toh 381 that uses modified milestone labels using the @prefix attribute ("ap5.157" should be generated automatically).

New method using <ptr>: a link to another 84000 text, Toh 83 at note n.6 ("n.6" should be generated automatically).

New method using <ptr>: a link to the same note in Toh 83 in body of text n.6 ("end-note-" not used in target id).

An external pending link to (Toh 1197), which should not be active.

Chapter 7

Folio References

7.1

This text is not linked to the eKangyur, but please check the following:

7.2

• A standard folio in Toh 83, linking to eKangyur.

• Separate folio references for separate keys. Toh 212 should display [F.125.a]. Toh 520 should display [F.41.a] [F.58.a], but only F.58.a should actively link to eKangyur.

• If folios are out of order in the text they should nevertheless point to the correct source. This folio should point to eKangyur Vol.44 p.144 (72b) [F.72.b], this one to Vol.44 p.146 (73b) [F.73.b], this one to Vol.44 p.147 (74a) [F.74.a], and this one to Vol.44 p.145 (73a) [F.73.a].

7.3

An example of this in use is in Toh 543 where F.107.b is followed by F.106.b, followed by F.108.a.

7.4

• Sometimes folio pages are skipped for some reason (c.f. Toh 257 at F.212.a). To corroborate the mapping the missing folios are to be added with @rend="hidden". Here is a test to see that the mapping is aligned:

Vol.44 p.148 (74b): [F.74.b]

Vol.44 p.149 (75a) is hidden.

Vol.44 p.150 (75b): [F.75.b]

Chapter 8

White Spaces

8.1

Check for missing or unwanted whitespaces:

• No space between double quote and italicized mantra:

“The garland mantra:

“Oṁ hrāṁ hrīṁ hrauṁ, in your fierce form, expel, expel! Drive away,

• One space before and after folio refs:

This is a mantra sentence (arbitrarily) with two [B.1] [F.1.b]14 folio references.

• Spaces around end notes:

There should be no space between this full-stop and the following note.15 16 17 But there should be a space between the notes and after the third note. There must be at least one space character between the notes in order to space them.

18There should be a note at the beginning of this sentence with no space between it and the beginning of the sentence.

Inbound References

10.1

Direct references to this text, for instance in a commentary, will be automatically indicated and back-referenced through markers in the right hand margin.

T00C

This text is referenced by a second layout checks test TEI file19 that you should also verify when testing new versions of the Reading Room.

This is a deliberately long passage with a quote at the end to make conspicuous that the reader scrolls the quote into view, not just the adjacent milestone.

The sūtra acknowledges the potentially intimidating and alienating effects of its teaching of nonduality, yet its response can be seen as both unrelenting and genuinely concerned. As the Buddha warns Mañjuśrī that his teaching is likely to cause fear in the audience, Mañjuśrī replies, “Those who become afraid are themselves of the nature of the realm of phenomena, and the nature of the realm of phenomena does not become frightened.” Yet as a group of monks ends up leaving in distress, Mañjuśrī dispatches an emanation of himself who, appearing to sympathize with the dejected monks in their dismissal of the teaching, finally succeeds in showing them its deeper truth. It should also be noted that despite the repeated rejection of the principles of liberation and spiritual accomplishment, we are repeatedly informed about the liberating effects of the sūtra’s teaching when each section of discourse concludes, as in many sūtras, with a statement of the resulting attainments of the attending monks, bodhisattvas, or gods.

Chapter 11

Floating Headers

11.1

Floating headers appear between 2 passages (for a context example see Toh 287). In the following example the floating header should appear in the middle of this section between the two paragraphs:

This is the Floating Header

11.2

This is the following paragraph. The header (<head/>) above has no type attribute.

This is the Non-structural Break Header

11.3

The non-strucural break header (<head type="nonStructuralBreak"/>) is used when the header is not part of the source text, but added in the translation for clarity.

12.

Chapter 12

Non-structural Divisions

12.1

Pragmatically a non-structural division is simply a <div type="section"/> element that doesn't have a <head type="section"/> element. This allows editors to delimit sections of the text that are not reflected in the table of contents, but can nevertheless be given properties such as their relation to a theme or another text.

12.2

This paragraph is in a new section of the text, but this section should not impact the structure of the text i.e. it should not impact on the flow of the text, nor be expressed in the Table of Contents.

Chapter 13

Variations Across Duplicate Texts

13.1

As the Kangyur contains many duplicated texts it is possible that a single translation (TEI file) can refer to multiple locations in the canon. These locations are referenced by tei:bibl elements in the tei:sourceDesc, and each tei:bibl has a @key attribute and a location element.

Whilst the texts found at the different locations are mostly identical there can be significant variations, for instance the title and colophon may vary, and the folio references will vary. For instance in one text the folio break [F.76.a] will appear in a different location from the other. To account for these variations it is possible to add a @key attribute to elements with the tei file. Elements marked with a specific @key will only be included in the rendering of the text for that key20.

14.

Chapter 14

Custom Milestones

14.1

Milestones are added to the left hand margin of the text as location markers. These typically follow sequentially resetting for each base section or chapter of a text, for instance chapter 14 will begin with milestone 14.1.

14.1.1

To customise this sequence milestones can be customised with a @n attribute e.g. <milestone unit="chunk" n="1.1"/>. This will override the label derived from the sequence.

14.2

Note that after a labelled milestone the sequence will resume from the previous e.g 14.2.

Kalandakanivāsa

བྱ་ཀ་ལན་ད་ཀ་གནས་པ།

kalandakanivāsa

A place or vihāra within the Veṇuvana (Bamboo Grove) near Rājagṛha, named because it was where birds or animals called kalandaka lived or were fed. These kalandaka had once saved King Bimbisāra from a venomous snake, and it was on his orders that they were maintained and fed at the site to express his gratitude. The Tibetan rendering bya ka lan da ka makes it clear that the Tibetans considered the kalandaka to be a kind of bird (bya), perhaps a kind of crow, while from Sanskrit and Pali sources it seems more likely to mean a squirrel. It is therefore possible that this word refers to the Indian flying squirrel, Petaurista philippensis.
