No the structure is correct, however the text file was prepared by copy/pasting
HTML text inserted in empty cells, namely the " " character reference (that
contains a syntaxic semicolon conflicting with the CSV separator). That's the
first thing I had signaled to Michael several days ago, and he has acknowledged
it and corrected it in its new update.
I have already signaled almost all bugs and inconsistencies to Michael, and
prepared corrected files.
Micheal has just changed the online version (but with the wrong dates...that's
irritating).
There is still a conflict of "Code" for Mandaean, is it "Mand" or "Mnda"?
- Table 1 (HTML by Code):
Mand;140;Mandaean;mandéen;;2004-05-01
- Table 2 (HTML by N°):
140;Mand;Mandaean;mandéen;;2004-05-01
- Table 3 (HTML by Name):
Mandaean;140;Mnda;mandéen;;2004-05-01
- same thing for Table 3 (plain-text by Name)
- Table 4 (HTML by Nom):
mandéen;140;Mnda;Mandaean;;2004-05-01
As Michael indicates that the plain-text should be the reference, then it
suggests "Mnda" and not "Mand"... But the new plain-text version uses "Mand"...
I had already signaled it in a past message... So it's also irritating.
