I have a text file ch1.txt (link), in Chinese. It is the first chapter of The Book of Liezi.
Also, I have another text file which is the English version of the same chapter.
My purpose is to design a webpage, with both Chinese and English versions, display the text in parallel, like this:
列子 卷第一 天瑞篇
Book 1 – Cosmogony
子列子居鄭圃,四十年人無識者。
MASTER LIEH (Lieh Tzu) dwelt on a vegetable plot in the Chêng State for forty years, and no man knew him for what he was.
Instead of doing this manually, I’d like to do it in a managable way. My first step is to convert the text file into an XML file, with
the following structure:
<chapter id="1">
<intro>列子 卷第一 天瑞篇</intro>
<p id="1">
<ptitle>only eng</ptitle>
<text>子列子居鄭圃…</text>
<comment></comment>
</p>
<p id="2">
<ptitle>only eng</ptitle>
<text>子列子曰:「昔者聖人…</text>
<comment></comment>
</p>
</chapter>
the code is here: http://liezi.info/not_website/XmlWriterTest.zip
