This repository contains an implementation of the draft proposal for new TEI XPointers. It utilizes code from jQuery, Rangy, and TEI Boilerplate to enable the display of unmodified XML documents in the browser. The xpointer.js and annotate.js code handles the resolution of TEI Pointers within the documents. There is a demo running at http://tei.philomousos.com/. Note: the demo is a demo, there are certainly bugs, the webapp part may be subject to falling over under any load at all, etc.

You will need Leiningen 1.7.0 or above installed to run the document loading application, which reads TEI P5 XML files either locally or from the web and delivers them to the browser with the TEI Boilerplate XSLT processing inscruction added.

To start a web server for the application, run:

lein ring server-headless

Go to http://localhost:3000 to see an example text. Any TEI P5 text on the web can be loaded using the widget on the right in the text view. Do note that TEI Boilerplate doesn't cope well with absolutely every TEI construct, particularly when there is no standard display for a given element.
