The Python module generates TEI XML for insertion within the <body>
element. Therefore the Python module requires a suitable XML template
file as input which contains all XML other than the contents of the
<body> section. The template file should contain the string
#INSERT# at the location where the new XML should be inserted
i.e. the template should contain:
<body>
#INSERT#
</body>
in the XML.
After successful processing each text file two XML files are created in a folder called XML. The new files contain the main body of XML and the apparatus XML linked using the double-end-point-attached method as described here.
A text file base name should end in an underscore followed by a
numerical value representing the document number, e.g. file_1.txt,
file_2.txt, etc. The numerical value after the underscore is
subsequently used to create the title section <div> element,
e.g. <div n="1" type="Title_section"> for file_1.txt.
The names for the new files is the text file base name plus ‘_main.xml’ (for the main XML) and ‘_apps.xml’ (for the apparatus XML). For example for text file file_1.txt the XML will be file_1_main.xml and file_1_app.xml.
