I am exploring the possibility of generating a complete transliteration for a Machzor my synagogue uses (not in time for this year!). I'd like to use a transliteration scheme that is as close as possible to the transliterations that currently appear in the Machzor.
I've cloned the git repository and have the system running on my local machine. I've also found the xml files that define the demonstration transliteration schemes. I have a few questions:
- I haven't been able to find any documentation that explains the definition of the transliteration scheme files. Is there any documentation? After writing a new transliteration, how does one get the system to recognize it?
- What's the recommended development environment for working on something like this? I was a developer decades ago but have no experience with XQuery and eXist.
Thanks.
