With the help of Dr. B, we used regular expressions in search + replace operations over the XML Casablanca script to establish the main structure of our XML. In order to complete this as efficiently as possible, we splitting the xml into three portions by number of scenes for each member to finish documenting. Once split, we individually used search + replace to add in "who=" attributes within the speaker elements. We had to manually move and tag instances of physical acting cues (dir elements) and tag emotional acting dues(descr elements).
Note: There were some inconsistencies between the files that we had to quality check and adjust. For example, there were instances of montages within the middle section of the script that didn't exist in the other files.

<scene n="0">
<camera>FADE IN: LONG SHOT — REVOLVING GLOBE</camera>
<setting> A revolving globe. When it stops revolving it turns briefly into a contour map
of Europe, then into a flat map. Superimposed over this map are scenes of refugees
fleeing from all sections of Europe by foot, wagon, auto, and boat, and all
converging upon one point on the tip of Africa -- Casablanca. Arrows on the map
illustrate the routes taken as the voice of a NARRATOR describes the
migration.</setting>
<sp>
<speaker who="narr">NARRATOR</speaker>
<diag>With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned
hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the
great embarkation point. But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly, and so,
a tortuous, roundabout refugee trail sprang up. Paris to Marseilles, across the
Mediterranean to Oran, then by train, or auto, or foot, across the rim of Africa
to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here, the fortunate ones, through money, or
influence, or luck, might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon, and from
Lisbon to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca -- and wait -- and
wait -- and wait. The narrator's voice fade away...</diag>

After we finished documenting the script, we added in the metadata and included a section for the movie metadata, and one for the script metadata. For both sections we included various aspects, such as the different people and locations involved for the movie metadata, and the script scenes and publishers for the script metadata.

Our next step was constructing the schema and associating it each xml files. We had to validate it across each file, and adjust some files further accordingly. Our schema is located on a different page. You can locate the image here.
Using our XML documentation, we plucked specific data and tags to create and display tables of information. Our XSLT file accomplishes this by using the @mode attribute set to toc for table of contents and then outputting to an empty html file. The functioning tables can be found in the reading view page linked here.

As you can see form our website, our use of html helped us create and launch a website with the help of Github Pages. Each site page was fabricated and stylized by our project team to recreate a similar thematic to our script. We hope you enjoy looking around!
