From the "Pizza Chef" web page [1] at the Oxford site: Pizza Chef "will help you design your own TEI-conformant document type definition (DTD) in either SGML or XML format." Of course, it's one thing to represent prosodic analysis and performance texts in a markup representation that "conforms" to some markup standard; it's quite another thing to find or build software which does something meaningful with the marked-up analysis; it's yet another thing to assume that the software your friend has for processing "TEI-conformant" documents will have any relevance to YOUR "TEI-conformant" documents if the two of you have chosen different (only partially-intersecting) subsets from the TEI complete tag set. For other references, see: http://xml.coverpages.org/tei.html "Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) - XML for TEI Lite." Best wishes, Robin Cover PS I saw some cool software the other day which does process (i.e., render via XSLT and RenderX, to PDF) TEI-style markup for texts with some complexity, including the "quotation" markup recommendation of TEI, supporting discontinuous segments in quoted speech, doing all the right things with punctuation marks for nested quotation levels, in various languages, in various speech contexts (statement vs interrogative)... so it can be done in principled ways. -------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 3 May 2001, Linda van den Brink wrote: > > Do anyone of you, know about a DTD scheme that relates > > to representation of drama, poems, rhimes and prose.
