THE TEXT ENCODING INITIATIVE

 

 

Abstract. The Text Encoding Initiative's Guidelines for electronic text encoding and interchange provide an extremely rich set of mechanisms for the transcription of primary textual sources. The present article presents a brief overview of some of the more important areas dealt with in the Guidelines, with examples taken from the author's own work with Old Norse and Early-Modern Icelandic texts.
