QTEI works as a ES6 module, can be used with the browser directly and ships a development environment:
Add QTEI to your javascript project with npm
npm install @wendig/qtei -D
And then use it like this
import QTei from '@wendig/qtei'
const qtei = new QTei.Viewer(...)
Include it in your page with simple html tags
<html>
<head>
...
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" href="https://unpkg.com/@wendig/qtei/dist/qtei.min.css"
/>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@wendig/qtei/dist/qtei.min.js"></script>
...
</body>
</html>
This repository also ships with a development environment. This is how you set it up:
First, install git and nodejs on your workstation. Then open a terminal and clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ieg-dhr/QTEI.git
Rename your TEI file to content.xml and move it into the data directory.
Now install all dependencies and run the development server:
cd QTEI
npm install
npm run dev
At this point, you should see your TEI file rendered at http://localhost:4000. Use whatever editor you prefer to make modifications to the viewer itself or to the TEI content, the page will immediately reflect the changes.
In general, the QTEI library can be used in two ways:
- use the integrated viewer (shows TEI XML source along rendered text with a facsimile and potentially a map). It provides a pagination, column controls and some styling but it isn't as customizable
- use just some parts of the library to build your own and integrate into your own systems
This is a example of a full html page making use of QTEI:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- when using the viewer widget, also include bootstrap to provide a
default look, otherwise, just write your own css -->
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/journal/bootstrap.min.css"
/>
<!-- include the css for highlighting the XML TEI source (highlight.js) -->
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
href="https://unpkg.com/@highlightjs/[email protected]/styles/github.min.css"
/>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" href="https://unpkg.com/@wendig/qtei/dist/qtei.min.css"
/>
<!-- include these if you intend to use the map component -->
<link
rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/leaflet.css"
/>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/leaflet.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div is="qtei-viewer"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@wendig/qtei/dist/qtei.min.js"></script>
<script>
function renderFacsimile(data) {
// write the code here to extract the facsimile from the current page's
// xml, data.content is a reference to the XML DOM. Have a look at the
// src/app.js file for an example implementation
}
function mappify(data) {
// write the code here to extract geo location data from your pages to
// be rendered within the leaflet map. Have a look at the src/app.js
// file for an example implementation
}
var qtei = new QTei.Viewer('[is=qtei-viewer', {
src: "url/to/your/tei.xml",
processors: [
QTei.processors.wrapAll('persName', 'person-fill', 'person'),
QTei.processors.wrapAll("rs[type='person']", 'person-fill', 'person'),
QTei.processors.wrapAll('placeName', 'geo-alt-fill', 'place'),
