Considering "Balisage: The Markup Conference?" Unsure about the conference portal? Wish for just a bit more Markup talk? Balisage Dress Rehearsals are open to all Balisage attendees! Balisage 2021 Dress Rehearsals Balisage will use the Whova
Conference Portal, which is unfamiliar to some attendees and has
changed since some of us used it last year at Balisage. In order to
provide an opportunity for us all to figure out how the portal works,
and to stretch Balisage into a full week, we will do "Dress Rehearsals"
on the Saturday and Sunday before the conference. Each Dress Rehearsal
will start with some social time including coaching to help people get
logged in to Whova, a conference talk, a Q&A session, and some small
group social time. Saturday, 31 July 2021 Saturday 13:00 - 14:00 EDT Dress Rehearsal & Social Time Conference staff will be available to help you get checked in to the Balisage conference portal. Once in, this would be a good time to look at the options available in the portal, greet old friends, perhaps chat with fellow Balisage attendees, test your camera and microphone, make sure you can participate without feedback, and generally get familiar with the Balisage virtual conference environment. Saturday 14:00 - 14:30 EDT (+ Q&A 14:30 - 14:45) Visualizing Musical Transformations: Evan Lenz The issues with comparing versions of a transformed XML document have been discussed many times. A special challenge, however, arises when the transformations of a document are musical in nature, rather than the more usual editorial changes. An XSLT visualizer can be modified to render musical scores to SVG and enable visual comparisons of the transformation results. Saturday 14:45 -15:30 EDT Small Group Conversation The Balisage informal meeting spaces will be open. Stop by the Fire Pit, the Curved Benches, or the Coffee Shop.

Sunday 12:00 - 12:30 EDT (+ Q&A 12:30 - 12:45) Interactivity Three Ways: Norman Walsh, Saxonica & C. M. Sperberg-McQueen, Black Mesa Technologies One of the most obvious differences between documents physically printed on pages of paper and documents displayed on electronic devices is that the latter can be interactive in ways that the former cannot. More than 50 years ago, this is what convinced Ted Nelson and others that when used well computers would dramatically change our relation with text. What kinds of interactivity are possible, and to what extent interactivity adds value to a document, are challenging questions that require careful analysis. Deciding that some specific interactive feature would add value immediately raises a new challenge: how is that feature going to be realized? We look at three technologies that can be used to add interactivity to a document presented on the web: “plain old _javascript_”, Saxon-JS, and XForms. We examine a specific feature and compare the differences between similar implementations across these three platforms.
