Gabriel Arazas aea7015cd5 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.

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.
