This tutorial covers the mechanics of ODD customization: How to either delete or include elements from the generic TEI schema; how to change delete attributes by class or for specific elements; how to constrain lists of attribute values, or change the content that can go within a given element. For this tutorial, it is probably best to follow along with your XML editor open, so that you can try out different customizations as you go.
