[text] php heade This is a warning to any poor soul who may have to deal with this code. I took over this criminal piece of chaos from a monkey named Joel who I assume had been given a typewriter by Mephistopheles himself. For reasons I have yet been unable to fathom he decided to patch together this thing using a BaseX setup hardwired into an unfixably broken Manjaro VM queried by a handwritten plate of uncommented PHP spaghetti fit to feed an army of people with a serious death wish without any framework or CMS. The very long BaseX script very long PHP presenter and very long XSLT stylesheet mostly perform the same heuristic document structuring for different components and are supposed to produce compatible results but I bet they have mismatches somewhere. Since Prof. T just wanted a few small functional enhancements I decided to just patch it and keep the general setup. Unless you were hired to correct some spelling mistakes DO NOT FOLLOW IN MY STEPS. Putting up with this simulation of how a goldfish would design a system has literally given me CLINICAL DEPRESSION. This is not an exaggeration I am writing this after a prolonged medical therapy mostly successful thanks for asking but not fun. I wouldnt wish this code on anybody who isnt a manager at Oracle or Facebook and therefore give you this sincere advice Nuke this. Take the XSLT if you must and then nuke the app and recreate it in Django or whatever works for you. I would do it myself but I risked a relapse simply by opening this file again to write this comment. Dear brother or sister I wish you all the luck and strength in the world and hope it will be enough. Farewell. e errorreportingE ALL inisetdisplay errorstrue printxml version1.0 encodinaUTF8 .n17
