deprecated EAD elements in EAD3

[johnjung]

Is it possible to re-word this as an issue that can be fixed? If not, lets close this issue out.

Right now, the transform tries to turn extptr and extref elements into HTML links, and it turns linkgrp elements into HTML unordered lists. Would you prefer that, if those elements appear in the EAD, nothing appears in the HTML? Or would you prefer that if those elements appear that plain text is output to HTML instead?

If you grep the database as it exists right now, do these elements appear? I don't see them in the NAFAN dataset at all. If they don't appear, it does no harm, but no good either. Since it's done, though, I would leave it as you have it--those transforms are logical.

Ok, that's great. There are currently no examples of extptr or linkgrp elements, however, there are extref elements- they appear in the following finding aids:

BMRC.HARSH.ABBOTT_SENGSTACKE.xml
BMRC.HARSH.DURHAM.xml
BMRC.HARSH.WYATT.xml
BMRC.NU.TRANSP-LIB_MENUS.xml
BMRC.UOC.ACLU_IL.xml
BMRC.UOC.AFR-STUDIES_WKSHP.xml
BMRC.UOC.AFRICANSTUDIES.xml
BMRC.UOC.AFRICANWKSP.xml
BMRC.UOC.AVC_CHI.xml
BMRC.UOC.BURGESS.xml
BMRC.UOC.BURGESSADDENDA.xml
BMRC.UOC.CAHUSAC.xml
BMRC.UOC.CIVDISARMCOMM.xml
BMRC.UOC.SUNRA.xml

If you'd like to take a look to see how those elements render, please do. Otherwise we can close out this issue.

I haven't found any that are rendering properly as clickable links. I had thought that was the aim...?

The original issue here is now resolved, and yesterday's comment is a duplicate of #52. I'm going to close this issue out and finish resolving it over there.
