Marcus Aurelius - M. Antonius Imperator Ad Se Ipsum (aka Meditations)
100%
Description
Χἀιρε Luke,
I really appreciate your amazing work here making the originals of such important and interesting texts available to everyone easily.
The one thing I would like to see changed is the addition of a certain text - the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, the original text is called M. Antonius Imperator Ad Se Ipsum. It's on the Perseus library here: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3atext%3a2008.01.0641 and I would really like to be able to read it on my kindle.
Thanks so much!

This text doesn't appear to be in the Greek and Roman materials collection. I downloaded it directly (Perseus_text_2008.01.0641.xml).
#4 Updated by Luke Murphey over 8 years ago
I don't like how this imported. It turns out that Perseus imports it the same way. Each "chapter" is actually a verse.
#5 Updated by Luke Murphey over 8 years ago
See https://archive.org/details/mantoninusimpera00marcuoft for how this should be rendered.
#6 Updated by Luke Murphey over 8 years ago
Here is what I want:
The imported needs to ignore existing verse markers and instead use the "chapter" markers as the verse indicators.
This is how I could do this:
- import_body_sub_node: don't import chapter markers
- make_verses: import chapters as verses
#7 Updated by Luke Murphey over 8 years ago
There appears to be extraneous verse markers in book 4 after chapter 4.
#8 Updated by Luke Murphey over 8 years ago
The way this would be best represented would be with both chapter and verse indicators on the same page. It might make sense to ignore the verse indicators altogether when chunking and just render the verse indicators on the front-end.
#9 Updated by Luke Murphey over 8 years ago
Got this working now and rendered much better than the way Perseus renders it.
