For TEI website

No source: this is the original, but it was based on the 2003-10 index.xml

 Tue, 08 Mar 05 Syd Bauman workshop co-presenter It seems that many browsers (all that I have on my desktop system) do not do what I would have thought is the right thing when following a link that has a MIME type specified on the type= attribute of a. I had my source TEI XML files named *.tei, and used type="text/plain" in an attempt to suppress the use of the CSS stylesheet (which works in Mozilla, Firefox, and Camino, but not MSIE nor Safari), and type="text/xml" ortype="application/xml", or no type at all in an attempt to get the CSS applied to the XML (which didn't work on any of the above mentioned browsers). When I change the name to *.xml it works fine in the Mozilla-based browsers, at least. Safari works in that it displays the file as if it were styled, but doesn't actually seem to apply all the styles (perhaps it is only CSS1 capable?). MSIE won't display any of them when it can't find the DTD. Anyway, I've changed the names from .tei to .xml.

This page has the files we used during the workshop.

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.

Slides

The slides we used are written in TEI, and were transformed to HTML using Sebastian's style sheets with a customized driver stylesheet. Here are the TEI source files. Converting to HTML is left as an exercise for the reader. Hint: read the header comments.

Templates These are copies of what is on the CD that was handed out at the workshop, except that the system identifier paths have been changed to make the files valid as they sit here on the TEI webiste. A TEI Lite template A template with a big header
Demos Amit Kumar demonstrated teiPublisher. Little CSS demo consisted of a source XML file and a tiny CSS stylesheet. Little XSLT demo consisted of a source XML file and a tiny XSLT stylesheet.
Naming

A few of the files herein 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. For editing with <oXygen> you would want to add tei to the list of extensions in the File types preferences pane, and set the editor to XML Editor.
