Poets that lasting marble seek,
Must carve in Latin or in Greek.
We write in sand, our language grows,
And like the tide, our work o'erflows.

-- Edmund Waller

  Adding Pseudopages
 
 

AddPseudoPages adds pseudopage milestones to an adorned file.

Usage:

addpseudopages input.xml output.xml pseudopagesize pageendingdivtypes

where

input.xmlInput MorphAdorned XML file.
output.xml Derived adorned file with pseudopage milestones added. N.B. Existing pseudopage milestones are deleted before the new ones are added.
pseudopagesize The maximum number of words in each pseudopage. Default: 300 .
pageendingdivtypes Blank separated list of <div> types which force the closure of a pseudopage. Default: chapter volume sermon

The derived adorned output file output.xml has pseudopage milestone elements added approximately every pseudopagesize words. No distinction is made between main and paratext when generating the pseudopages. Each pseudopage starts with a milestone of the form:

<milestone unit="pseudopage" n="n" position="start"></milestone>

and ends with a milestone element of the form:

<milestone unit="pseudopage" n="n" position="end"></milestone>

The n is the pseudopage number.

Pseudopages can be used as a basis for constructing simple citation schemes and mechanisms for orienting a reader in a text which is not otherwise divided into meaningful units such as pages.
