TORCHIO an experiment in static digital scholarly editions

The press, in the browser. Choose the files of a TEI P5 edition and it is pressed into a static site, here, on your machine: nothing is uploaded anywhere (only the map tiles come from OpenStreetMap, when a map exists). The same result, from the command line, is described in USAGE.md.

Drop files here, or

One or more TEI XML files: several files form a collection. If the edition has an ODD, add it to the selection: it is recognized automatically. Title, language, theme and pages are decided in the panel that appears next.

Put the edition online, on GitHub

The edition is the repository: the archive you just downloaded is a complete website, and GitHub hosts it for free. No command line involved.

  1. Create a free account at github.com, then choose New repository (the + sign, top right). Name it after your edition, keep it public, press Create repository.
  2. Unzip the downloaded archive. On the new repository's page choose uploading an existing file, drag all the unzipped files in, press Commit changes.
  3. In the repository, open Settings > Pages, and under Branch choose main, then Save. After a minute or two the edition is online at https://yourname.github.io/repository/.
  4. For a new version: record what changed in the TEI header (editionStmt for the version, revisionDesc for the changes: the edition page shows both), press again here, upload the new files the same way. GitHub keeps every previous version.
