Basic Manuscript and Physical Document Encoding

This tutorial covers the basic elements used to encode a TEI document, focusing on the fundamental structural elements for marking up your text (in particular, for basic prose, poetry, and drama). Building on these foundational elements, this tutorial discusses: Encoding phrase-level elements, like names, references, and linguistic features; correcting, regularizing, or modernizing the text, while still acknowledging the original; encoding authorial or editorial deletions and revisions of the text; and showing uncertainty about your reading of the text.
