Navigation toolbar (top of page).

The transcription navigation toolbar offers additional functionality when a transcribed page is being viewed (a transcribed page represents a page from the original paper edition of the Survey). The toolbar offers a range of additional functionality.

The first element on the transcription navigation toolbar is a link to the Table of Contents, which lists all of the pages in the edition. This allows the user to navigate to any page of the edition.

The second function provided here is the ability to navigate between the books of the edition. The display also shows the current book being viewed.

The next element provides chapter navigation. This permits the edition to navigate backwards and forwards by chapters through the edition. The display also shows the chapter on the current page.

The next element on the navigation toolbar is the page navigation buttons. The left pointing arrow allows navigation to the previous page and the right pointing arrow permits navigation to the next page.

The final element of this toolbar is the "print" button. This displays the current page in a printer friendly format. The browsers print functionality can then be used to print the page.

Navigation toolbar (bottom of page).

The toolbar at the foot of the page provides three key features. The first button or link relocates the view to the top of the page. The subsequent buttons permit navigation between pages.

Final Note.

As a final point, when a navigation button reaches the end of available text for example; at the end of the edition, the programmed behavior is to return to the edition's main page.

Search

Textual search is a further mechanism for navigating the edition. The text search page offers the ability to perform a literal search for elements of text at a paragraph level. The provided phrase can be sought throughout the edition or within a particular portion of the text.

Click here to view searching

When a textual search executes it returns a page displaying possible matches to the search ranked in order of preference and the content that matches the search expression. The preferred page can then be selected and displayed by using the hyperlink.

Click here to view results

There are some restrictions on the ability to search.

• A search phrase must be longer than three characters in length. A search terms less than this will return no results.
• The search mechanism performs only a literal search. Advanced search features such as the ability to negate particular terms is currently unavailable. These types of features may be added in subsequent versions.
• Multiple selections of elements in the "section" option box are currently not permitted. Again this may be addressed in a future release.

More detailed help on performing a search is available on the search page itself. Click here to view the further search help.

The Text of the Edition.

In general the contents of the edition consist of the transcription text, glosses and heading material. These have been given display properties that attempt to reflect both the original published edition and the nature of the element.

Click to view text layout

The image demonstrates the layout of the core text and of the glosses from the edition. Glosses are placed on the right hand side of the edition whilst the text itself is central to the page.

Click to view headings

Headings from the text and page numbers are displayed as shown in the highlighted portions of the image although their position in the text may vary.

Figure images that occur in the text are typically indicated by the eye symbol.

Both the eye and any subsequent text within the braces represent a hyperlink that can be used to view a digital facsimile of the figure image. This will open in a separate window for display.
