TEITags is one such custom extension, which was created by Richard Davis for the Transcribe Bentham Project at UCL. Although it currently covers only a restricted subset of tags, it can be easily extended by hacking into “TEITags.body.php” and defining the appropriate behaviour for each tag in a CSS. <br /> <br /> (2) As of MW 1.21 (released in 2013), a facility called ContentHandler is available to add support for specifically declaring content types other than wikitext: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ContentHandler see this page]. <br /> &lt;!---<br /> ?3 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AlternateSyntaxParser<br /> <br /> ---&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Interface===<br /> ====Text editors and toolbars====<br /> * WikiEditor<br /> * CharInsert <br /> * VisualEditor<br /> * SemanticForms offers a form-based alternative to editing the source text directly.

This working environment has been specifically tailored to the workflow in our interdisciplinary digital humanities project &quot;GeoBib&quot;. It addresses some challenges that arose while working with person-related data and geographical references in a growing collection of TEI/XML files. While our current solution provides some essential benefits, we also discuss several critical issues and challenges that remain.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> [[Category:Tools]]<br /> [[Publishing and delivery tools]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>

<p>Dennis Groenewegen: </p> <hr /> <div>Webmaster/admin at http://www.vanhamel.nl - website of the A. G. van Hamel Foundation for Celtic Studies, where I'm also directing and contributing to two projects: ''*selgā'' (a Celtic studies catalogue) and Tionscadal na Nod. I'm interested in utilising TEI in a MediaWiki/SMW environment. <br /> <br /> ==Tools in need of wider attention==<br /> * [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/TEI Extension:TEITags]<br /> * [[Wiki2TEI]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Users]]</div>
