#156 Remove legacy Unicode display of glyphs from XSLT
Now that we have a working template for displaying glyphs as either texts of symbols using the <glyph> and <charDecl> structure (in header or in authority list), as implemented in FR 81, I would like to see the Stylesheets tidied up so that all of the legacy templates in teig.xsl can be removed and replaced with a generic template that uses <g type="x"> to pull in a Unicode value (or text value, as required) from the same charDecl.xml in the Stylesheets directory.
The idea is to provide a legacy template that works for those who still use g[@type] but need to use the most recent Stylesheets (in particular Papyri.info), but without the current massive and repetitive special-case lists for "London", "IOSPE", "DDB", "RIB" and "Creta" projects. It will take a bit of testing to check it doesn't break anything, but it feels like it should otherwise be simple enough to write.
Will have a first pass at this and report back.
