This page has the files we used during the workshop. Several of the files have the extension .tei; you may need to change some configurations of your system in order for it to recognize this as an XML file. E.g., for editing with Emacs you would want to add something like (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.tei" . xml-mode)) to your .emacs file.

Many of the files off this page are .dtd or .ent or other non-HTML text files that many browsers can't display. You may have to download the links to disk and edit them with a text editor.

Set-up, testing, & handouts Kevin's instructions for installing jEdit are available at UIUC; Kevin and Syd will likely try to fix it up some, and then put the new & improved version up somewhere like the TEI Software page. The little hello test file Element list handout
Slides

The slides we used are written in TEI, and were transformed to HTML using Sebastian's style sheets. Here are the TEI source files. Converting to HTML is left as an exercise for the reader.

Introduction to markup Introduction to TEI Core Tags (only slide #2 was used during the workshop) Some TEI Resources
Templates A TEI Lite template A template with a small header A template with a big header (This is the copy as it was modified during the workshop, as opposed to the one that we started with, which is on the CD.)
Exercises Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. Jacket liner notes, in HTML, plain text, and a link to the site where we found it The file Syd created during the teiHeader exercise: as it was at the workshop WARNING: as we were trying to demonstrate a variety of features of the teiHeader rapidly, there are several bizarre sections of this file that do not make sense anymore; I'm not even sure the file is valid. improved version with some inexplicable sections removed; valid.
Demos Little XSLT proof-of-concept

Based on the fictional document analysis exercise, we built a view of the TEI DTDs intended for 19th century scientific journals.

Extending TEI TEI extensions entity file, as generated by pizza chef TEI extensions entity file, as modified for our purposes TEI extensions DTD file, as generated by pizza chef TEI extensions DTD file, as modified for our purposes Flat, pre-baked, or pre-complied DTD as generated by pizza chef Flat, pre-baked, or pre-complied DTD as modified for our purposes NOTE: modification include adding comments (very important to do) and altering whitespace (useful for readability) — no changes that alter the declarations themselves at all Test file using traditional method of TEI DTD invocation Test file using flattened DTD

The two template files now have declarations for the entity (in this case, an SVG file) that actually stores the graphic of the formula, and a declaration for the notation in which that entity is stored. Note that if I had done this right, the notation declaration would be stored in the TEI extensions entity file sciJour19C.ent, and thus not need to be repeated at the top of the instance files. Since each issue of the journal would have its own formulas, it is probably quite reasonable to leave the declarations for the image entities themselves in the instances.
