Description
Text and Graphics Special Interest Group

The TEI Guidelines are used to encode many diverse, graphically rich documents, including illuminated manuscripts, laboratory notebooks, art books, children's illustrated books, comics and graphic novels, and so on. These types of graphically rich documents present special concerns, considerations, and challenges, both conceptually at the encoding level and technically at the transformation, presentation, and publishing layers of digital document development.

The purpose of this SIG will be to discuss, develop, and document various strategies and best practices for implementing the digital facsimile structures available in TEI P5, especially as relates to graphically rich texts, and for developing methods to extend the TEI when existing structures are not suitable.

Facsimile Markup
This page was created in 2006-2007 during the development of TEI P5 Facsimile. It gives examples of several previously existing methods and tools for linking text with image.
