A TEI XML document is a collection of tags nested within each other with a very clear and defined hierarchical structure. The entire content of a TEI document is framed by the tag <TEI><\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<TEI> \u2026\u2026 <\/TEI><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
It is the only tag that is written entirely in capital letters. The rest of the tags will always be in lower case, or with an internal capital letter if the tag is an abbreviation of two words. The format of each one must always be respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every TEI XML is always divided into two main parts, the header, or <teiHeader><\/code> and the text itself, or <text><\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<TEI>\n\n\t<teiHeader>\n\t\t... Contenidos de la cabecera del documento ...\n\t<\/teiHeader>\n\n\t<text>\n\t \t ... El documento ....\n\t<\/text>\n\n<\/TEI><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<teiHeader><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For full information and instructions on how to complete this section, see the chapter on <teiHeader><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<text><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Since our editions contain original texts aligned with one or more translations in parallel, each of these versions of the text is itself a <text><\/code>. And for a single XML document to contain several <text><\/code> it is necessary to group them with the <group><\/code>tag. This allows you to add as many translations as you wish, without limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, the <text><\/code> of all our editions has the following structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<text>\n\t<group>\n\t\t<text type="source" xml:lang="la">\n\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t… Contents of the critical edition: original text and critical apparatus …\n\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t<\/text>\n\t\t<text type="translation" xml:lang="es">\n\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t… Contents of the Spanish parallel translation, with notes as commentary …\n\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t<\/text>\n\t\t<text type="translation" xml:lang="en">\n\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t… Contents of the English parallel translation, with notes as commentary …\n\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t<\/text>\n\t<\/group>\n<\/text>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note that there are two attributes that must obligatorily be carried by each of the <text><\/code> within the <group><\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
