Uppsala Winter 2026

About the Repository

This repository hosts the training materials for a full-day modular and reusable workshop that teaches students basic technologies to transcribe documents in TEI-XML for use in a Digital Scholarly Editing, from scratch. It also showcases how XSLT can be used to transform a TEI-XML transcript into one or more web pages, and it may be expanded later to also include some basic HTML and CSS.

The workshop is specifically designed to help teachers include an introduction to (TEI-)XML in courses on Digital Text Analysis, which often mostly focus on introducing students to quantitative approaches to the subject, such as topic modelling. The workshop was originally designed by Wout Dillen as a guest-workshop in such a course on Digital Text Analysis, taught in the University of Uppsala's MA programme in Digital Humanities. It builds heavily on a similar, shorter workshop Wout designed in a standalone course on 'Digitala Metoder' [Digital (Research) Methods)], that was taught at the University of Borås, and puts together a series of materials Wout previously developed for his own classes in various courses across MA programmes in Borås.

About this Release

This release represents the workshop as it was made available to students when it was taught for the first time. The event took place at the University of Uppsala in the Winter of 2026, in the form of a full-day a guest lecture in a in the Digital Text Analysis course.

After teaching the course, and before creating the release, some minor edits were made. Most of them were small fixes of errors etc. that emerged while teaching. In addition, the homepage and README file were updated, and some first steps were made to allow the repository to be archived in Zenodo.
