Visual - WYSIWYG TEI Editor

Creating TEI Documents based on Templates

<oXygen/> comes with the TEI DTDs, XML Catalog, XSL stylesheets and document templates so that you can start working right away with TEI documents. You can edit documents guided by the context sensitive content assistant, easily validate the edited documents and transform them to HTML or PDF for presentation. We cooperate with the TEI Consortium and we are committed to keep the TEI support up to date in future <oXygen/> releases.

To start the content completion you just have to press ENTER. This presents the list of elements that can be inserted at the caret position. For simplicity the additional views: Attributes, Entities, Elements have been collapsed to the right side of the editor. The toolbar contains the specific TEI actions. Note the location tooltip near the carets.

Templates are documents containing a predefined structure. They provide starting points on which to rapidly build new documents that repeat the same basic characteristics. <oXygen/> installs a rich set of templates for a number of XML applications, including a set of predefined templates for TEI XML documents.

Specific TEI Actions

<oXygen/> is able to recognize the TEI documents based either on the root element name or namespace. When you switch to the Author mode, the editor loads both the set of CSS files and the available actions that were associated in the TEI configuration.

The action set include operations for emphasising text, creating lists, tables, sections and paragraphs.

More than this, you can create your own operations for inserting or deleting XML document fragments.

TEI Table Support

You can create tables, join or split cells, add or remove rows easily.

A TEI table example. The caret is positioned between two cells.

Easy TEI XML Source Editing

Choosing one of the TEI templates, <oXygen/> inserts a TEI document skeleton and assists you in validation and tag entry as you go along.

Transforming TEI documents to PDF or HTML in <oXygen/> with a Single-Click

It is so easy to transform the TEI documents in PDF or HTML: just select one of the predefined scenarios for TEI and click on the "Transform now" button.

Visual Content Change Tracking

Change Tracking is a way to keep a history of the changes made to a document. When change tracking is enabled the inserted and deleted content is highlighted in the document allowing to easily identify the affected regions.

Multiple authors support

<oXygen/> supports changes from multiple authors, rendering each author changes with different colors.

For each change <oXygen/> stores the author and the date when that change was performed. The name of the author who is currently making changes and the colors can be customized from the Track Changes preferences page. It is possible to add comments to the changes.

In the above screenshot you can see how various insert/delete changes made by various authors are displayed. The tooltip shows information about the change.

Change management

You can review the changes made by you or other authors and then accept or reject them using the Track Changes toolbar buttons or by using the change management dialog.
