<h1>Logbooks - multiple formats</h1>

<h2>Update - January 2023</h2>
|
|
<p>This has now been done. All logbooks use the same format now and we have only one parser.
|
|
|
|
<p>There is an advnatgae in using a "separator format" rather than a "encapsulated entry format". When parsing the logbook.html file, everthing will be in one of the entries if we use a separator (e.g. <hr> as opposed to a <article> ... </article> encapsulation). Stuff between encapsulations is probably meant to be in an adjacent entry. So we are continuing to use the <hr> separator format style.

|
<h4>Maintenance workload</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>We <s>have</s> had 4 different markdown and HTML formats for logbooks of different vintages. This means 4x as much maintenance as we need.

<h4>Complexity - missing entries</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Secondly, it is highly likely that most of the different parsers have errors and so some logbook entries do not get imported. One parser, which we
|
|
could devote more effort to, would mean data does not get mislaid.
|
|
|
|
<p>Thirdly, the current format is error-prone and nonsensical, so it an unecessary learning curve for all expoers.

<h2 id="prop1">Logbooks: Proposal #1 - One Single Format</h2>
|
|
<h4>Architecture</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Use new HTML5 tags e.g. <article> --stuff-- </article> or another tag that does not allow nesting. Ideally.
|
|
<li>Use closing tag at end of entry - no implicit merging of entries
|
|
<li>Explicitly handle content not in a logbook entry, e.g. title, frontispiece.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are several HTML structural tags we could choose,
|
|
see <a href="https://webplatform.github.io/docs/guides/html_structural_elements/">HTML5 structural elements</a>.
|
|
<br>
|
|
DIV, SECTION, ARTICLE, ASIDE
|
|
|
|
<h4>Implementation</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Start by exporting using this format from the import parsers
|
|
<li>extensive manual checking for each logbook
|
|
<li>Start with 2003 which has a unique parser
|
|
<li>trial new import parser, check it gives same results as old parser on old format
|
|
<li>repeat for each format type
|
|
<li>retire old format parsers, archive old formats of logbook
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Advantages</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Reduced maintenance load in future
|
|
<li>More expoers will write up their logbook entries ! Win!
|
|
<li>Clearly distinct programming task: would suit newcomer
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Disadvantages</h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>non urgent work
|
|
</ul>
