<narration/> to <pointOfView/>Jacob Deitloff on 7 November 2011 at 7:10 pm

In marking up chapter 37, there are at least two different instances of changed narrators -- at first, Draco is the narrator, then some unknown character (either Vampire, B'loody Mary, or Willow most likely) takes over the narration until it returns to Enoby. In order to handle this in the past, we created the element <narration/>, but now, I feel like <pointOfView/> would be a more aptly named element, so I went ahead and changed it in the schema (if we don't like it, we are more than able to change it back). But it functions as a head to <paragraph/> elements, and it also contains a @handle for who is the current narrator.

We also needed to add an optional @partOfSpeech, as chapter 37 also contains a point where the reader becomes the main character.

Look into

place handle="transfigurationClass"

sp type="???" intended="Transfiguration"

Transformation

/sp

/place.

This error is actually pretty interesting because Transfiguration IS about transformation, but it's still the wrong word. Not sure if we want to do something about it, but it's pretty cool.

IMO, it's like with Enoby or Dumblydore; we can reasonably assume that Tara wanted it "Transfigurations," "Ebony," and "Dumbledore" respectively. If that's what your question was?

Sort of? I think this kind of error is a little different? idk.

We could also just mark this as malaproper.
