New Elements
TEI Customisation
Generated Documentation
- As part of the TEI P5 Customisation process we can generate documentation
- The project updated their documentation and stores it in this same customisation file (as the TEI recommends)
- Generated encoding manual: http://livingstoneonline.github.io/LEAP-ODD/leap.html
- Github repository: https://github.com/livingstoneonline/LEAP-ODD
Marking Terms
Using the Markup
Legacy Data Migration
- Investigation - analysis and reporting based on:
- looking at existing files, TEI element choices, attribute value lists
- existing Livingstone encoding manuals
- other projects TEI best practice
- Scripted conversion using XSLT of hundreds of:
- legacy TEI P4 files that Livingstone Online produced in previous projects
- existing modern TEI P5 files
- Migration followed new schema to make markup consistent, e.g. attribute value lists
- All underlying TEI P5 XML files in new Livingstone Online schema freely available on GitHub: https://github.com/livingstoneonline/TEI-Files
