Having your research stored as text files written in a lightweight markup language is great.
However, certain information can still get lost in the way.
For example, certain words like "London" can either mean the famous capital of England, a city in France, or certain people with the name.
You can find similar situations with Wikipedia disambiguation pages (like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_(disambiguation)][previous example]]).

[[https://tei-c.org/][Text Encoding Initiative]] (TEI) attempts to solve exactly that.
It's a standard that focuses on the semantic meaning of the words.
Being a standard, it also frees the writers from software dependency and developers have to follow it instead.

The specification uses XML for markup and there are [[https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Category:Tools][various tools]] for creating TEI-specific contents aside from the already existing ecosystem of XML-related tools.
It can also export into various formats through [[https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets][XSLT 2.0 stylesheets]] including HTML, LaTeX, and JSON files.

Update the files for convention Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way. 2021-04-01 16:08:15 +00:00			`#+title: Text Encoding Initiative`

Reformat the wiki Create a unified format for my wiki. Unfortunately, since most of my notes are created on a whim and I don't care much about metadata at the time, the timestamps are only approximations from my memory. 2020-09-08 21:28:33 +00:00			`- [[file:2020-04-15-14-35-55.org][Note-taking]]`
