Does a .tei extension exist?

[proofer]

I have been tagging files now w/ TEI.2 P5 for a year. I haven't learned any of the ins and outs of web-pages or much of the language used by programmers. All I do is apply the tags to a book document, then validate it with Altova XML Spy.

My webmaster wants me to save my validated .xml files with a .tei extension.

I can't seem to do that.

Does a .tei extension exist for PC Spy or Word files?

If so, how does one create it?

thank you.

Hi,

What you are doing seems to be TEI P4, not P5, in P5 the root element is TEI not TEI.2 and it belongs to the TEI namespace. Note also that oXygen has support for TEI P5 and the main schema is in Relax NG and you can use that with oXygen.
To save a file with a different extension just use the Save As action and specify the new name,

Best Regards,
George

Thanks George,

I found out that what I needed to do was add .tei as under options in Altova Spy.

This allowed me to save a file w/ the .tei extension in a Word format.

So easy!

One can also add .tei as an extesion in any Folder>Tools>Options, making it a Word usable extension, although I can't seem to get it to appear in the filename unless it is "associated" with a file-type .rtf, .doc, .txt

thanks for your help.
