INCEpTION Apache Annotator Editor Plugin

Note: This is an early access repository. The way that things work will likely be subject to regular changes for the time being.

This repository is an example based on the Apache Annotator JavaScript editor component of how to integrate a JavaScript-based annotation editor with INCEpTION.

Starting with INCEpTION v23, external editor plugins are supported. To use this editor, first create a folder named editors in your INCEpTION application home. By default, this is ~/.inception, but on server installations, you will usually have set it to something else such as /srv/inception.

Clone this repository as a sub-folder under the editors folder.

tl;dr:

$ cd ~/.inception
$ mkdir editors
$ cd editors
$ git clone https://github.com/inception-project/inception-apache-annotator-editor-plugin.git

Finally, start INCEpTION. Early during start-up, you should see a message like this:

ExternalEditorLoader - Loading editor plugin: Apache Annotator (external)

Also, on the annotation page, you should be able to switch to that editor.

TEI support

This editor includes an experimental stylesheet for TEI files from the DraCor project. Import them as XML (generic) into a project and try opening them with this editor.
