How
Orlando Works
Features
Results
Results come in several forms:
Author entries with tabbed screens
Overview
The overview screen is generated from various parts of the author's documents:
The brief author profile is the content of the author summary tag.
The milestones are a small subset of the chronology events for that author generated using the tags, where present, for birth
and death dates, best known work, landmark text, and first and last literary activities.
The highlights are the headings from Life and Writing discussions: click on them to go to that point in those screens.
Writing
Writing discussion for that author. (In some cases, writing careers are represented in free-standing events and no Writing
screen is available.)
Life
Life discussion for that author. (In a few cases nothing is known about the writer so there is no Life screen.)
Life & Writing
Both discussions side-by-side, scrollable so they can be read in parallel.
