Slow Reading interfaces (source code)

<strong>This is a template for a series of poetry interfaces that explore different methods of slowly revealing a poem's text. It also includes a script that applies the RiTa.js library to an HTML text to tag it with useful linguistic data.</strong><p></p><h3>Content</h3><p>This code repository contains the source files for the three prototype reading interfaces, the code for which can be found in the respective folders. All three are built using HTML/JS.</p><p>In 'abstract lines', the poem-text is blurred, the reader is able to reveal one line at a time by tapping the screen or using the down arrow.</p><p>In 'relineator', the poem is shown with its line-breaks removed. The reader can then use the up and down keys to progress though the text, adding the line-breaks back in.</p><p>'multiple views' presents the reader with selected words from the poem, bases on their part-of-speech category.</p><p>The poems in these interfaces have been replaced with placeholder text, which is clearly marked in the HTML and JS files. </p><p></p><h3>Third-party software</h3><ul><li><p><strong>RiTa.js</strong> - A JavaScript library used in the 'multiple views' interface to tag words with the appropriate part-of-speech.
