Artes Latinae Project Update....


FRAMES.... FRAMES...FRAMES...FRAMES...FRAMES

Ever since Maestro Marco showed me what the final project would look like today, marking up the content from the images he gave me into XML files has made it so much clearer for me.  

I went back to the first frame in Unit 15 and cleaned up the XML some more.  I inserted the single line break tags <br/>  between the sound and picture tags as well as between the response tags.

Speaking of response tags, now that I was able to see the goal of the end product, I went back and incorporated the ans="" attributes within the response tags in the appropriate places.  Here is an example of what that looks like:   Jūdex <response ans="rēs"></response>cognōscit.

The end product of what this would look like is:   
     
                      Jūdex _______  cognōscit.

What is cool about this is that the user will get a chance to fill in that white highlighted blank.  If the answer is wrong, the window will light up in red.  If the user is correct, it will light up in green!

I also added src="" attributes to the <sound></sound> tags.  The files are not yet in there because I do not have the audio files yet.  When I get them, it will be easy to drop the file names in there as everything is ready to go.  

I am currently at frame 26.  When I reach frame 32, I will put the images and xml in a file that is located in my S3 bucket.  What's an S3 bucket?  Well, you will have to wait for my next post to find out!  😊

    I think it'll make sense for you to have your own version of the LessonFramViewer to view your xml. I'll set it up to look for the xlm files in your doc root and to look for the images and sounds in your s3 bucket.
    You should start thinking about how you could start increasing your efficiency.

XPATH and XPATH Expressions In XMLLINT

XPATH And XPATH Expressions Earlier, I told you about xmllint and xmllint for html files .  Let's say you just want to parse the <span> tags within your html file or just your <span lang="el"> tags? Enter:  Xpath. Xpath is yet another option available within the xmllint language. Remember, an Xpath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in xml and html documents.  Xpath uses Xpath Expressions to select nodes or node sets within a document. Example 1 .  Looking for all of the <span> tags within an html document. xmllint -- html -- xpath " // span" StedmanLesson10.html xmllint = This tells the command line that we are going to be using the xmllint language. space = because we always have space in between commands -- = Remember, these are the two hyphen-minus characters that we need to tell the command line that we are going to use an xmllint option. html = This is the xmllint option we want to ...

Back To The Basics

It's Been A LOOONG Minute since I have coded!!   Even so, I decided to give JavaScript another try.  I always seem to do good and then when I get to this one area, I always seem to hit a brick wall.  Well....nothing like getting back up and trying again right?   I decided to try:  The Complete JavaScript Course 2025: From Zero to Expert! by Jonas Schmedtmann.   So far, he seems to explain things in a way my brain understands it.  💁 To let you know how much I have forgotten in the coding world, I couldn't even remember how to write the basic commands for an HTML document! Yesterday I started the fundamentals free course and I am so glad that I did.  Because of time, I only made it through the JavaScript History and Setup chapter, but that chapter was enough to get my memory flowing again!   It started to feel familiar and I quickly remembered why I enjoyed coding so much.  Yesterday and this morning, I just erased and...

XMLLINT for HTML: Cleaning up the HTML Code

Getting That MESS Cleaned Up! In an earlier post, we learned about xmllint .  Today, I want to talk about cleaning up the code for an HTML file. When we have an xml file, xmllint is used.  For an html file, we use the following command in the command line: xmllint --html <filename goes here>         Here is an actual command on my command line for running xmllint for my StedmanLesson10.html file. In the photo above, you see that I start off the command with xmllint. The next thing is a space and then a --html.  The two -- are two hyphen-minus characters that are used to specify long options (Basically there are options that can be used within xmllint.  The two hyphen-minus characters are saying an option is going to be used.  In this case, that option will be html - because we are going to do an xmllint on an html file). After that you see a space and then the name of the html file I want t...
