TEI P4 Document Type

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines is an international and interdisciplinary standard that enables libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to represent a variety of literary and linguistic texts for online research, teaching, and preservation.

A file is considered to be a TEI P4 document when one of the following conditions are true:

  • The local name of the root is TEI.2.
  • The public id of the document is -//TEI P4.

The default schema that is used if one is not detected in the TEI P4 document is tei2.dtd and it is stored in [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/teip4/schema/dtd/.

The default CSS files used for rendering TEI P4 content in Author mode is stored in [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/tei/css/.

The default catalogs for the TEI P4 document type are as follows:

  • [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/teip4/schema/dtd/catalog.xml
  • [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/teip4/custom/schema/dtd/catalog.xml
  • [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/teip4/stylesheet/catalog.xml
