Other matters, such as the introduction, preliminary pages and [[Secondary files|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 also varies per project.

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 element will also include annotation.

This is how the elements are coded in the XML file: 

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


The body element will usually contain the transcription of the edited document, but may also contain other content, such as a translation, editorial annotation, etc. In this case, these components will usually be stored in different divs, e.g.: 

<body>
 <div type="original">
   <!--...-->
 </div>
 <div type="translation">
   <!--...-->
 </div>
 <div type="notes">
   <!--...-->
 </div>
</body>
