An Introduction to TEI:

by Laura Mandell, Miami Univ. of Ohio

What your HTML page generated from an XML document will look like (samples):

Fake: Frankenstein

Real:

          The Bijou Giftbook (under construction): http://www.muohio.edu/anthologies/bijou/bijou.html

          Hemans's "The Sculptured Children": http://www.muohio.edu/womenpoets/poetess/works/hemans/sculpt.html

          John Wilson, "Soliloquy on the Annuals": http://www.muohio.edu/womenpoets/poetess/works/wilsonsolil.html

          Anna Letitia Barbauld, "The Hill of Science": http://www.muohio.edu/womenpoets/barbauld/hill.html

For any of the above pages, if you wish to see how the xml looks, simply change "html" at the end of the URL to "xml" -- the xml page should come up for viewing in your browser, code bared! However, it is worth noting that html browsers often add part="N" for any unnumbered part (division, paragraph, stanza, etc.) and TEIform="[whatever code appears in the brackets]"; if you pull the same document up in oXygen, you won't see those additions to the tages inside brackets.

If you wish to go on, you can see how to

(A) encode frontmatter

(B) insert figures (images)

(C) insert footnotes

(D) links to other site

(E) stanzas and paragraphs

(F) The whole document

(G) Samples
