The TEI Critical Apparatus Toolbox (TEI CAT) is a simple tool offering an easy visualization for TEI XML critical editions. It especially targets the needs of people working on natively-digital editions. Its main purpose is to provide editors with an easy way of visualizing their ongoing work before it is finalized, and also to perform some automatic quality checks on their encoding.

Features

The Toolbox lets you...

• Check your encoding: offers facilities to display your edition while it is still in the making, and check the consistency of your encoding
• Display parallel versions: choose the sigla of the witnesses, and the different versions of the text, following each chosen witness, will be displayed in parallel columns.
• Print an edition of a TEI XML edition, with a TEI-to-LateX and PDF transformation
• Annotate an image: lets you easily trace zones on an image to prepare a documentary edition
• Get statistics on the XML tags effectively used in different parts of your edition, and some word count.

A downloadable version is coming soon.
