Tei-xsl

Synopsis
This is a family of XSLT 2.0 stylesheets to transform TEI XML documents to various formats, including XHTML, LaTeX, XSL Formatting Objects, ePub, plain text, RDF, JSON; and to/from Word OOXML (docx) and OpenOfice (odt). They concentrate on the core TEI modules which are used for simple transcription and "born digital" writing. It is important to understand that they do not They should not be treated as the definitive view of the TEI Consortium about rendering TEI documents.
 * cover all TEI elements and possible attribute values
 * attempt to define a standard TEI processing or rendering model

System requirements
"The XSL FO style sheets were developed for use with PassiveTeX (http://projects.oucs.ox.ac.uk/passivetex/), a system using XSL formatting objects to render XML to PDF via LaTeX. They have not been extensively tested with the other XSL FO implementations."

Software dependencies:


 * Saxon 9.2 or later. If using Debian or Ubuntu, you can get it from http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/.
 * ant and ant-contrib. Note that as of 2011-11-30, ant-contrib is not availabe as as RedHat package.

Language(s)
Documentation is in English.

Documentation

Among the components of this package of stylesheets not documented are the following:


 * – generates a list of all the attribute values used in the directory of texts you apply it to, in the form of an ODD file, from which you can in turn generate documentation and schemas using Roma
 * – switches from a traditional ODD-by-exclusion to a newer form ODD-by-inclusion

Creating a custom profile
To create a profile for converting to/from a format and TEI XML, create either or both as needed:

Start by copying the files in  and then adding your own overrides and/or additional templates. See this brief example of additional templates.

Note that if your  is docx, this directory must contain a file   which is used to create .docx files from. See the sample in the default profile.

Tech support
Bugs and feature requests should be made via the TEI general ticketing system on Sourceforge

Sample implementations
The package includes a number of profiles in the  directory.

but note the following :
