Just to help this discussion along, I'm attaching the first two stanzas of Tennyson's "Guinevere" (later included in Idylls of the King) in TEI markup (TEI-lite, actually). Of course, it is possible to make it much more complicated than this, which is why a subset is a good idea, but the only really hairy part of TEI is the header, which requires at a minimum some kind of title statement, a publication statement for the e-text, and a description of the source. By the way, in addition to the Oxford Text Archive there is a collection of 45,000 e-texts, mostly TEI/SGML, at the University of Virginia's Electronic Text Center: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/uvaonline.html Many of the texts are available online, and they include English, French, German, Latin, Chinese, Japanes, and many other languages. ====================8<====================8<==================== <!DOCTYPE TEI.2 SYSTEM "http://www.uic.edu/orgs/tei/lite/teixlite.dtd"> <TEI.2> <teiHeader> <fileDesc> <titleStmt> <title>Guinevere (excerpt)</title> <author>Alfred Lord Tennyson</author> </titleStmt> <publicationStmt> <p>Electronic version by David Megginson 2000-02-08.
