A TEI text is basically a text file.
right. if you could tell josh this, i'd appreciate it.
So you can read it in any editor.
"read" might not be the best word-choice there. "view" is more appropriate, i would think, since the markup will often obscure the content itself.
If you use emacs you can also validate the TEI file against the DTD
without leaving the editor.
that's a nice thing to be able to do. but the .tei might be _valid_ and still not do what it's supposed to do, accurately reflect the underlying structure and therefore result in a correct rendering... because i know you're all curious, with the z.m.l. authoring-tool, people will be able to see exactly what the viewer-program will display, in a window alongside their edit window. if it doesn't look right in the display window, you make changes in the edit window until it does. the rules are so simple that this is very easy to do.
A perfectly valid TEI file with no spelling errors should be good enough to post.
only if it's marked up _correctly_, though, right?
So we can have bith an alice30.pgtei and an alice30.jtei.
that sounds like loads of fun... twice as much, at least! -bowerbird
