Templates

Because these templates demonstrate how to link to a CSS stylesheet, and because they link to the empty template CSS stylesheet, it is likely that with most browsers clicking on the templates of XML documents will not prove very helpful. You will need to at least "view source", if not save them locally ("Save as…").

• Template using basic schema. Use this template for the first few exercises. To use, download to your TEIseminar folder and open from within oXygen.
  • the schema for use with the above file is at http://www.wwp.brown.edu/encoding/seminars/[venue]/demos/support/teach-basic.rnc To use the schema, follow the instructions below.
  • you may find the schema documentation useful
  • the ODD source of this customized schema may serve as a useful example
• The same template using the extensive schema; it also has schema documentation and the ODD source is available.
• Template with large TEI header. It uses the same ODD file and schema as the above.
• Template for CSS
