Documentation
Customizing the TEI with Roma (besides this, just see the Debian packaging)

To install, run "make install" from the sources.

As Sebastian wrote on TEI-L on 2009-12-21, "Always remember when considering Roma and friends that the variation is in the XSL stylesheets which it uses. So 99% of error reports and bug fixes are to do with the behaviour of odd2odd.xsl and odd2relax.xsl (etc). The XSL package changes much more frequently than Roma."

Sebastian wrote to TEI-L on 2009-12-21, "I expect to do some fixes next year to allow the ODD processing to be carried out by web services, based on the EGE (http://dl.psnc.pl/software/EGE/). When that is working, my idea is to redo Roma to use the web services to do all its backoffice work, and so not need any local software at all."
