How do I create a new TEI XML file in Oxygen?

gabrielbodard commented 3 years ago

I'm glad you asked. If you're using Oxygen, as we suggested, there is a demo of this at the beginning of the Tagging Text Structure tutorial video, but for reference, the process is as follows:

From "File" menu, select "New…"
From "Select or search a document type" select "Framework templates" --> "TEI P5" --> "All [TEI P5]"
Save this file to your computer, and replace the contents of <body> with your text (or <sourceDesc> with your descriptive and historical data).

If you're not using Oxygen, you can also find a copy of this blank TEI XML file at this link (right-click and "Save link as…" before opening the file in your XML editor).

Under framework templates, I only see TEI and not TEI P5. Can I use that? Screen Shot 2021-05-17 at 16 21 56

@cbeattie19 that's what I see also

That file template should work. As long as you see the following below, then you'll be OK.

When I click on TEI, the above choices come up so which do I choose? I am afraid that the videos are really not clear to use Oxygen - I do not understand at all what to do. I downloaded Oxygen, but how do I use a manuscript text and copy it into Oxygen to try to encode it?

strill66 commented 3 years ago

@NicolePohl - in my experience it should be possible to copy a transcription from a word file, paste it into the <body><p> section of the Oxygen file, and work from there

cmohge1 commented 3 years ago

Thanks @strill66 . @NicolePohl indeed you should copy and paste a text into the <body>. By 'text' I mean any text -- that could be copied from a Word file, a txt file, a web page. We have provided text examples you could copy and paste from the Exercises section under Introduction to TEI –– e.g. you could use the text at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0217%3Abook%3D1%3Acard%3D1

You'll of course need to make more changes, but this should get you started. Does that help?

Yes, apologies, I have a slightly older version of Oxygen, so the menus are a little different. Revising my instructions from above:

From "File" menu, select "New…"
From "Select or search a document type" select "Framework templates" --> "TEI" --> "All"
Save this file to your computer, and open with Oxygen or any text editor.
In the open file, replace the contents of <body> with your text (as Christopher showed in his example above).
