Tables and Rows in XML For Artes Latinae


TABLES and ROWS, TABLES and ROWS

I am at the section in the Artes Latinae project, where the use of tables and rows are needed. 

I am familiar with using tables and rows in HTML, but I wasn't sure how to do that in XML.

It turns out, the code is the same.  In frame 102 (remember to hit "ok" when the audio error appears, select my name "lisa", and then select frame # 102 to view), the user will need to answer the question in a specific order.  In order to achieve this, the code needed to look like this:

<table>
<tr><td>this is where information would go </td><td> this is where information would go</td></tr>
<tr><td>this is where information would go </td><td> this is where information would go</td></tr>
<tr><td> this is where information would go</td><td>this is where information would go </td></tr>

</table>

An awesome tip:  copy and paste generic code (like a table row/data code) into your notes somewhere on your computer.  Why?  So that you can copy and paste it into your text editor.  It comes in handy when you are using the same tags over and over again throughout your document.

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

Click photo above to see photo clearly  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 Rithm School's online JavaScript Fundamentals FREE course .  I have never joined their school but their free courses tend 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

SCP: Secure Copy Protocol

SCP = Secure Copy Protocol.  What is it and why is it important?   SCP provides a secure way to transfer files from one computer to another. For the project that I'm working on, I needed to SCP (send a copy) the XML files, as well as the image files, from my computer to my EC2 Instance (my web server).  Once done,  my teacher was be able to view my work via my website. Here are the steps to do this: 1.  Open two command windows (the program for my computer is called Terminal). 2.  Let's say the file I want to send is called "SallysFirstDate.xml" and it is located in the "tomy" folder.  Here is where that file lives: /Documents/path/tomy/SallysFirstDate.xml I need to first issue the command to "change directory"(cd) through each folder until I reach the folder that my file is located in.   It would look like this: cd /Documents THEN I need to "cd" again into the "path" folder: cd path THEN I need to "c
