byline-sibling

Find elements that are siblings after <byline/> where the <byline/>elements has siblings on both sides that are not part of model.divWrapper (i.e. tags other than "argument", "byline", "dateline", "docAuthor", "docDate", "epigraph", "signed", "meeting", "salute", "head", "opener" (the last two only at the beginning of a textual division)). A new <div/>element is added to encompass all sibling elements (up to any <div/> if present) before the violating element. N.B.: The following siblings are not handled, i.e. a <p/> element might now appear as a sibling of <div/>. To avoid this invalid tree structure, use in combination with div-sibling.

Example

Before transformation:

<!-- ... -->
</teiHeader>
<text>
   <!-- ... -->
   <div>
     <p>text</p>
     <byline/>
     <p>text</p>
   </div>
   <div>
     <div/>
     <ab/>
     <p/>
     <byline/>
     <p/>
   </div>
   <!-- ... -->
</text>
</TEI>

After transformation:

<!-- ... -->
</teiHeader>
<text>
   <!-- ... -->
   <div>
     <div>
       <p>text</p>
       <byline/>
       <p>text</p>
     </div>
   </div>
   <div>
     <div/>
     <div>
       <ab/>
       <p/>
       <byline/>
     </div>
     <p/> <!-- use div-sibling to correct this -->
   </div>
   <!-- ... -->
</text>
</TEI>
