Two stages to get a TEI text

capture the textcreate the markup

Often they occur simultaneously; but often not.Note that the markup does not necessarily all have to be inthe same file.

OCR/Data Entry

Scanning and OCR software generally produce onlyminimal HTML or Word (e.g., recognizing paragraphbreaks, font changes etc).Data-entry vendors in theory would insert whatevermarkup you wanted, but at a price. They generallyprefer HTML or TEI Lite or some such well-known DTD.TEI is creating a standard slimed-down vocabulary forinitial encoding that may be useful in mass-digitisationprojects called ’TEI tite’.

Editor types

Editing tools cover a wide spectrum:Basic text editorsGeneral programmers’ editorsXML-aware programmers’ editorsXML-specific editorsWord-processors which can export XMLData-entry formsImage-specific editors

it is likely that people in different roles need different tools.

Things to look for in specialist XML editors

schema-awareconstraining element entryIDE featurescustomizablevalidation, preferably continualMultiple display views (as tree, with tags, formatted etc)folding structurescontext-sensitive help

For XML editing, Emacs, oXygen, jEdit, XMetaL, XMLSpy,Stylus Studio, Arbortext Adept are all worth a look.For image editing, try University of Victoria Image MarkupTool or Edition Production and Presentation Technology(EPPT).

What is missing, or hard, in the TEI editingworld

Editors like XMetaL which combine visual feedbackwith code editingVisual, or WYSIWYG, editors in web applications (eg ina CMS); most web editors are for XHTML (cf Writely)Reliable conversion to and from Word and OpenOfficestyles. Note:

the general inability of word-processors to nest inlineinside inline, or block inside blockthe difficulty of extrapolating a hierarchical structurefrom a sequence of free-standing headings at assortedlevelsthe tedious programming required to trace the ancestryof styles in Word and OOthe lack of a facility in OO to stop the user formatting byhand
