Support for TEI
In version 1.2.1.3, the "New" menu option offers the possibility of creating a "TEI document" (no further choices are possible), which results in the insertion of <!DOCTYPE TEI PUBLIC "-//TEI P5//DTD Main Document Type//EN" "tei_all.dtd"> with the basic tree of obligatory elements. Existing documents can be validated with the tei_all and tei_minimal schemas (menu: XML | Validate).
An RNG schema association for the current document has to be set upon starting the validation action for the 1st time in a session ("F6"). Schematron is not mentioned.
The editor offers element and attribute completion.
Language(s)
