An XML/TEI file consists of several mandatory and, if so desired, optional sections, that are each encoded within their own XML elements:
- The TEI Header, which contains the metadata about the text in a <teiHeader> element (mandatory).
- If relevant, a facsimile section for identifying the digital image files of the source in a <facsimile> element (optional).
- 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>
