An XML/TEI file consists of several mandatory and if so desired optional sections, that are each encoded within their own XML elements:

  1. The TEI Header, which contains the metadata about the text in a <teiHeader> element (mandatory).
  2. If relevant, a facsimile section for identifying the digital image files of the source in a <facsimile> element (optional).
  3. The actual transcription of the text in a <text> element (mandatory).

This is how the elements would be displayed together in an XML file:

<teiHeader>
 <!--...-->
</teiHeader>
<facsimile>
 <!--...-->
</facsimile>
<text>
 <body>
  <!--...-->
 </body>
</text>

Other matters, such as the introduction, preliminary pages and secondary files, are not included in the XML/TEI file. How and where those matters are included in the digital edition differs from project to project. The number of XML files used for a single edition as well as the way in which the individual elements are filled in can also vary per project.
