Umsetzung Monopsen in Fassungsansicht

[flicksolutions]

• link an all-encompassing Monopsen PDF file
  • perhaps link to specific page in the PDF from more specific linking locations (TBD)
  • the PDF also contains lnks to the representation in the edition; it will need to be regenerated to point to the new edition

[flicksolutions]

@pdaengeli die Monopsen-PDFs (mon1 - mon827) sind bisher noch nicht auf dem statischen repo.
Sollen die noch dort hin? Ich werde morgen auch noch abklären, wie und wo wir die zum download anbieten werden.

We will link to the same PDF that contains the complete text - with a varying link to the Dreissiger that is active.

[pdaengeli]

@flicksolutions, I got a notification that a number of mon PDFs were uploaded to Dropbox today, seemingly one per Dreissiger.

Do we need these? Or rather an all-encompassing PDF?

In either case, should we offer the file(s) through the static API?

[flicksolutions]

@pdaengeli As discussed in December I would say we only use the all-encompassing PDF. Would it be best if Mr. Abel created it? Or should we stitch together all the PDFs we have?

[pdaengeli]

Merging the single files using pdfunite $(ls -v *.pdf) monopsen.pdf yields monopsen.pdf.

There is slight variation in the dimension/width of the pages.

Same for pdftk $(ls -v *.pdf) cat output monopsen-pdftk.pdf: monopsen-pdftk.pdf

Equal size is possible using TeX / pdfjam --outfile monopsen-a4.pdf --paper a4paper $(ls -v *.pdf): monopsen-a4.pdf

As far as I can tell the page number equals the Dreissiger number in all three cases.

Should I include one of these in the static API?

Edit: NB: pdfunite and pdftk retain the links whereas pdfjam doesn't (at least not without a pre-processing workaround).

[flicksolutions]

hmm, the links are in a old format anyways (using Query-Attributes instead of a path).
I have to think about if I get make these links work in the new page aswell in a simple way...

If I can make it work I would prefer monopfen-pdftk.pdf because of the retained links.
I keep you posted.

From the OP:

• the PDF also contains lnks to the representation in the edition; it will need to be regenerated to point to the new edition

Having SA regenerating the PDFs is the most straightforward approach.

Otherwise we'd need to set up URL rewriting within the web app (perhaps SvelteKit has some kind of adapter to this end) or (ab)use GH Pages 404 pages to do redirects (this is possible with a mapping file like so but kind of hacky) or use an actual webserver to proxy the requests.

[flicksolutions]

I agree. Rewriting with SvelteKit is possible. But if SA can help us, it would surely be preferable.
I'll contact him and ask.

[pdaengeli]

@flicksolutions, no need. I reached out yesterday.

Perfect, thanks! Schema would be like so: https://www.parzival.unibe.ch/fassungen/[dreissiger]
