Extracting Essay IDs
Contributor(s); Than Grove, Steven Weinberger
From Than Grove, 2010-08-10: I set up a cocoon pipeline that should work for any book on the cocoon/texts/book site. It should also work for essays etc but I haven't had time to test that yet and there may be glitches.
If you use the following URL: 
http://local.thlib.org:8080/cocoon/texts/books/bonpo-monasteries/ids/main.xml?l=3
Note: If your localhost address may be different, if the above address is erroneous, try: http://localhost:8080/cocoon/texts/books/bonpo-monasteries/ids/main.xml?l=3
Then it gives you a list of: id numbers and the head text for that id, down to the div3s.
If you use: http://local.thlib.org:8080/cocoon/texts/books/bonpo-monasteries/ids/main.xml?l=2&lang=wyl
Note: If your localhost address may be different, if the above address is erroneous, try: http://localhost:8080/cocoon/texts/books/bonpo-monasteries/ids/main.xml?l=2&lang=wyl
it gives you: id #, Unicode Tibetan of Head, the Wylie Head text down to level of div2s.
If you use:http://local.thlib.org:8080/cocoon/texts/books/bonpo-monasteries/ids/main.xml?l=4&lang=tib
Note: If your localhost address may be different, if the above address is erroneous, try: http://localhost:8080/cocoon/texts/books/bonpo-monasteries/ids/main.xml?l=4&lang=tib
It gives you: id#, Head in Unicode Tibetan, the head text converted into Wylie down to level of div4s (but there are no div4s in that document).
So the l param is the level to go down to, and the lang can be either "tib" if the header of each section is in Unicode Tibetan and it will translate it to Wylie. If lang=wyl, then it will translate Wylie headers into Unicode Tibetan. If no lang param is given, no conversion happens.
