#164 examples not handled by stylesheets are confusing
On the page on ligatures https://epidoc.stoa.org/gl/latest/trans-ligature.html the last example doesn't render correctly. There is also no explanation of why the ligature is split into two. This is probably because the the two ligatured letters are in separate words. However, with no explanation, and with no rendering of the ligature, this example is confusing.
We might:
- Remove it
- Explain the rationale for the encoding and also point out that the rendering wont work with default stylesheets.
- Fix it so it works.
Diff:
(1) and (2) would seem like good practice for future GL pages and examples. The author of the page in question (the recalcitrant @gabrielbodard) should have known better. Do we document policy like this somewhere in the Wiki?
(3) should be a new FR, I think (or maybe even a bug). It would also tie in neatly with @irenevagionakis 's recent excellent work on rendering ligatures.
EM to add explanation that stylesheets aren't rendering properly. Item 3 will be handled in Ticket 162.
https://epidoc.stoa.org/gl/latest/trans-ligature.html has been edited. Closing as the rendering and stylesheets update will be handled in Ticket 162.
