TEI Encoding

TEI Encoding, short for Text Encoding Initiative, is a standardized way of marking up digital texts so they can be easily read, searched, and analyzed by computers. It uses special tags and codes embedded within the document to identify elements like chapters, paragraphs, or names, much like digital tags in a website. This allows scholars and researchers to organize, share, and study texts more efficiently, ensuring consistency across projects. Essentially, TEI provides a common language for representing complex textual information in a structured, machine-readable format.
