This framework works on top of oXbytei and oXbytao, which must also be installed.

Alternative installation methods are explained in oXbytei's documentation and can be applied analogously.

Features and Usage

This framework adds only a thin layer of additional functions on top of oXbytei and oXbytao.

• shortcut actions for encoding

  • verbatim citations from the holy text and other sources
  • references to encyclopedia articles: this simply collects bibliographic entries marked with type="encyclopedia" from your bibliography and presents them for selection
  • etc.

• transformations useful for editing multiple recensions of the same text

• this framework comes packed with the SEED TEI Transformations for generating the HTML previews

Project specific CSS

In order to get nice rendering in author mode, you should provide CSS for the used languages through the project specific CSS file (see oXbytao). Here is an example:

@namespace xml "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";

[xml|lang="ar"] {
    direction: rtl !important;
}

[xml|lang="de"] {
    direction: ltr !important;
}

[xml|lang="en"] {
    direction: ltr !important;
}

[xml|lang="ar-DE"] {
    direction: ltr !important;
}
