Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex: Motivating text changes
Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2024 7:25 am
The Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex (UXLC) is upgraded by changes from readers. It's easy to do and successful suggestions are usually applied to the text within 6 months.
Contributors are permanently recognized in the headers of each book. To see this, go to the <https://tanach.us> site and enter a citation to any biblical text, i.e. Deut 16:20. When the text appears, click on the top, centered, blue label "Unicode/XML LeningradCodex [UXLC N.m]". The built-in header of Deuteronomy appears, "Deuteronomy - TEI header". Scroll down to the "Notes" section and observe the table of all corrections on the text. The chapter:verse.word citation of each correction appears in the first column in usual order. The second and third columns give the title and author of the correction. Clicking on the citation link displays the correction in detail from the corresponding Changes file.
Changes to the text are always welcome and are permanently credited in the XML files.
