False-color proof

Named by analogy with “false-color” maps (like certain kinds of weather maps)

• “Electronic galley proof”
• Use XSLT's easy reformatting to display text in format designed for checking by eye
• Can be either on screen (may be HTML) or in print
• Especially useful
  • when the tagging provides high-quality “semantics” (content-oriented descriptive markup)
  • in tag sets subject to tag abuse
• Provides for a very hands-on checking process, but eases the labor
  • “Pointy brackets make my eyes go crossed”
  • So use labels and colors instead
