Hurrah for XSLT and stubborness! I figured out for one of our regular XSLT generated reports for manuscripts on the Chymistry of Isaac Newton project how to make it calculate the terminus post quem based on verified citations (citations we're sure we know the source) and verified plus high likelihood citations (we're pretty damn sure about the source). And to print which sources the dating is based off of. #XSLT #DH #XML #TEI #Newton #Chymistry #HistSci
(This is the manuscript the report in the photo was run on: https://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/newton/mss/dipl/ALCH00046)

TIL from the ‘Picture of the Day’ on #Wikipedia that Dante didn’t think highly of #chymistry 🧪!
