A minimal-example walkthrough of the three concepts that come up when working with TEI/XML — ODD, XSLT, and Processing Model — organized by their distinct roles: schema definition, transformation, and rendering declarations. Aimed at readers new to TEI.
A hands-on look at TEI Tools, a browser-only tool for converting Word documents to TEI/XML and for visualizing TEI/XML files, using the bundled sample files.
Taking the first folio of Cing gisun-i Lao Kida (volume 1, fol. 1a) — a Joseon-era Manchu language primer — I encoded the page in TEI/XML using only standard elements and reproduced its vertical layout (Manchu script + Hangul phonetic gloss + warigaki Korean translation) with XSLT 1.0 generating HTML + SVG. This post records the design decision to separate data from visualization, the column-splitting trick in XSLT 1.0, the SVG-based rendering of Manchu script, and the three-panel comparison view (facsimile / XML / HTML).
I built TEI Scanner, a macOS desktop app that runs Apple's Vision OCR over a folder of scanned page images and emits a single TEI/XML document. This post records the SwiftUI implementation, project management via xcodegen, notarization driven by an App Store Connect API key, and .dmg distribution through GitHub Releases.
How a statistics page that aggregates pages, lines, characters, and waka counts per chapter is generated from TEI/XML transcription data, and how the rebuild and redeployment are automated with GitHub Actions.
A record of a document structure corruption bug encountered while converting TEI XML standoff annotations to inline for a Vue.js viewer in the Digital Engishiki project, and the DOM-based solution.
An overview of TEI Publisher, a platform for publishing TEI XML digital editions, and its applications in Digital Humanities.
Added a visual preview feature to the DOCX → TEI/XML converter using CETEIcean, allowing users to verify TEI tags render as expected directly in the browser.
