File-Naming Conventions

Preliminary Remarks
All file names are case sensitive. All directory names are case sensitive. All file extensions will be lowercase (.html, .txt, .jpg, .gif); author and title codes have uppercase letters (A0014-T001).

Contents

Texts

SGML Text Files:
The filename of an SGML text file is made up of the ftext_code (aka titleid) and a .txt extension, e.g., A0014-T001.txt. The ftext_code is made up of the author code and title number. For the time being, text files are placed in the following directory: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/texts/textfiles/.

Image Files:
The filename for images for figure tags in SGML texts are made up of the ftext_code (aka titleid), a sequential number, and a .jpg or .gif extension, e.g., A0051-T001-7.jpg. This filename MUST match the filename in the figure tag as such <figure inline="y" sysid="A0051-T001-7.jpg">. For the time being, images associated with text files are placed in the following directory: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/texts/imagefiles/.
Note: If a portrait appears in the book, a second copy must be made, named with the portrait file-naming convention, and placed in the Portraits/images directory.

HTML Files:
In an effort to keep the database true to its name, Italian Women Writers, excessive commentary and other editorial matter will be available only as linked HTML files. Short notes and such will be indexed, however. The HTML files are to be named by the ftext_code (Title ID) and .html extension (e.g., A0014-T001.html). Use the hash mark # to get to exact points in the HTML file (A0014-T001.html#1) with <a name="X"></a> in the html file (e.g., <a name="1"></a>). In the text one finds something like this <link sysid="A0014-T001.html#1">Commentary on Letter</link>. For the time being, html files associated with text files are placed in the following directory: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/texts/htmlfiles/.

Biographies

The filename for a biography is made up of the author code and a .html extension, e.g., A0051.html. For the time being, biography html files are placed in the following directory: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/BIOS/.

Portraits

HTML Files:
Portraits must have an html file which lists information such as the author's name, whence the photo or line-drawing was taken, where the original locates, and so forth. The portrait image or images will appear on the html page by way of an image tag (<img src="A0051.jpg">). For the time being, portrait html files are placed in the following directory: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/Portraits/HTML/.

Image Files:
The primary portrait image will be made up of the author code and file extension .jpg (A0051.jpg). Secondary portrait images will be composed as follows: A0051b.jpg, A0051c.jpg, and so forth. A scaled image portrait that is designed to display on a biography html page must include sm before the file extension (A0051.sm.jpg). For the time being, portrait image files (including scaled image files) are placed in the following sub-directory: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/Portraits/images/.
Note: If a portrait image comes from a book with sgml text in the database, a second copy of the portrait must be made, it must be renamed as a portrait file and placed in the Portraits/images directory.

Headers

Header HTML Files:
The html associated with a header lives in this subdirectory. The static IWW pages will have this for reference only. The headers for dynamic pages (results) will grab this html for the system. For the time being, header html files are placed in the following directory:
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/headers/html/

Header Graphics:
The images for headers will be served up from this directory. Move old graphics in to an /old/ directory when new graphics have been created. For the time being, header graphic files are placed in the following directory:
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/IWW/headers/graphics/

Headers are needed for the following pages:
