XSugar

Requirements

• JRuby 9.1.17.0 - preferably managed with rbenv
• Bundler - gem install bundler

Usage

This project contains JRuby libraries and wrappers for XSugar as well as grammars for converting between EpiDoc XML and Leiden+ (a Leiden-style plaintext markup). There is also a pure-Java standalone XSugar transformation servlet in src/standalone.

To convert between the EpiDoc and Leiden+, the utility scripts xml2nonxml.rb and nonxml2xml.rb are provided.

To use them you can simply run:

./bin/xml2nonxml.rb < epidoc.xml > leiden.txt

or ./bin/nonxml2xml.rb < leiden.txt > epidoc.xml

Testing

The Ruby testing uses bundler for gem dependencies, so you should invoke rake with:

bundle exec rake

Upstream

The Java XSugar source is tracked in xsugar-vendor. Customizations for this project are in xsugar-customizations, merged into master. To e.g. update to a new upstream version of XSugar, you would unpack it to src/xsugar on the xsugar-vendor branch and commit the changes. Then you would rebase the changes in xsugar-customizations onto the new xsugar-vendor. Then merge xsugar-customizations into master and rebuild lib/xsugar-all.jar (using the rake task java:xsugar:build) and commit. Do not make changes/customizations to the Java XSugar source on master, make them on xsugar-customizations so that the merge upstream/rebase/merge workflow is more straightforward.
