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.
