Project Title: The Bronte Sisters

Description of Project: The life and literature of the three Bronte sisters.

Proposed Completion Date: 30 November 2006

This is my first time for a Uni Project, hope I've done everything correct so far.

I have a question, or two.

Do I list any Entries I link to as done here - A7709763 ?

Is Bronte okay, or should I use Brontê?

And if Brontê is preferred do I use ?

I'll probably be back with more questions at some point.

Emmily

Er ... it's Brontë, not Brontê. And you want one of these: ë

*Realises he's supposed to be subbing one of Emmily's Entries*

Nearly there, honest!

Trin

I've got books with 'Bronte', 'Brontë' and 'Brontê' I'm sure they deilerately do these things to confuse me (oooppps looking at them with my reading glasses on, it is Brontë, the two sort of dots looked like they were joined together )

Yeah, you've got my 'Summer Advice for Domestic Pet Owners' I knew where it was

Emmily

Trin, (or anyone else who can answer this)

I've discovered that I can't use ë in external links, (or I'm doing it wrong) I get GuideML error message. Advise please.

Trin, would you fancy being my allocated Sub-editor. It's a project, I'm not rushing it, as and when I feel like adding some to it.

(don't take too much notice of what's in the Entries at the moment, most of it is still just a rough draft)

Emmily

It might be because of the & - normally I'd say use & instead, but I'm not sure how that would work in this case! You could try and see...

Wow - I'm very flattered Certainly I will

Especially if the approach is going to be

Trin hopefully there will be very little for you to do by the time the Entries reach you, which is why I'm trying to sort out problems as I come across them. :) I'll be a more clearer in what I was asking in post #4. I'll use an external link from 'The Beinning' (A12827388) as an example. I tried to get the external link for Patrick Bronte to show as 'Biography Rev. Patrick Bront�' in the right hand column, but when I tried to use the Title Tag in the coding - TITLE="Biography Rev. Patrick Brontë" (Patrick Brontë) I get the error - "The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute value." Emmily

The one with the & doesn't work and Entity Tags don't work either

The one thing that does seem to work is actually putting an 'e' with an umlaut directly in the TITLE one where the & one is now.

Which is probably very dodgy GuideML. Well, no, it definitely is. Might be worth raising this one on <./>GuideML-Clinic</.> Or <./>Feedback-Bugs</.> Or both!

Okay, I'll do that later, have to now, suppose to be at w*rk in 5 mins

Emmily

see F48000?thread=3315753 for the solution to this.

Sorry Trin, I've just not had the time to research the info needed to complete this project, and forgot about it some of the time.

Did you plan on finishing this off? It has real potential.

<BB<

I'd forgotten all about these, I no longer have the books, so I guess the answer is no.

Emmily

That's a shame...

If you wanted someone else to finish this off, we could move it to the Flea Market - what do you think?

<BB<

Yes, that's fine, move them to FM if you want.
