Recommended Practices
Introduction
These recommended practices are for publishers intending to use TEI P5 as their encoding schema. They are intended to highlight features necessary for publishing both journal articles and books.
General Recommendations
Introduction
This document describes the specifications for the encoding of textual matter in accordance with the Text Encoding Initiative’s Guidelines for Text Encoding and Interchange (P5)
We will be using the following modules as part of our schema:
- core
- header
- textstructure
- figures
- linking
- analysis
- tagdocs
- namesdates
- textcrit
- verse
- transcr
This is a working document and as such assumes that further explication will be added as the need arises. Not every element nor attribute has been covered in this document, and the TEI online documentation should be able to assist in clarification. When in doubt, the authors of this document will provide updates to ensure best practices.
