README-XML.txt

This is README about the XML formats of the "Hesla Jednoty bratrské"
i.e. "Moravian Daily Texts" (originally German: Losungen)
translated into the Czech language


The XML format I use originates from the losfile.dtd  Revision 1.15  2000/12/27  20:01:23  from Helmut Steeb.
The original documentation to this DTD file from Helmut Steeb is in: losfile.htm
The appropriate XML file with the "Hesla Jednoty bratrské 2012" is: cs_los12-01.xml 

But this losfile.dtd is not able to store  FULL text of the German "Losungen" or Czech "Hesla Jednoty bratrské".
To solve this problem I added some other tags:

<YEAR>  = Losung of the Year / Jahreslosung – http://www.oeab.de/jahreslosungen/ 
<MONTH> = Losung of the Month / Monatsspruch – http://www.oeab.de/monatssprueche/
<DAY>   = Name of Sunday, Holiday etc. / Sonntag oder besonders Tag
<TT>    = Third Text/Dritte text  Typically, these texts are not translated into foreign languages
	because in the original Losungen these texts are copyrighted. Instead, anothet texts can be used on this place.
	For example, the Czech "Hesla Jednoty bratrské" uses strophe from the Czech hymnbook.
<C>     = Comment, anniversary etc. / Gedenktag

The XML file which contains all those text (coding UTF-8) is: hes12-01.xml
The appropriate DTD file is: hes06-33t.dtd

The same XML file but in the ISO-Latin-2 coding is: hes12-01-il2.xml

There is a simple XSL transform which translates this full XML into the Steeb's format:
hes2los33.xsl

Bugs:
The file hes12-01.xml it doesn't contain the <C> tags.
