Abstract

The WYSIWYA TEI Editor is a revolutionary tool designed to streamline the annotation and editing of digital scholarly editions. This chapter delves into the editor's core functionalities, highlighting its user-friendly interface and the ability to handle complex annotations without requiring technical XML knowledge. It also explores the migration process for existing document corpora, detailing the challenges and solutions in converting and validating TEI documents. The text provides a comprehensive overview of the editor's features, including entity recognition, comment plugins, and the integration of public APIs for entity data. Additionally, it discusses the importance of ensuring validity and losslessness during conversion, and the benefits of a document-by-document migration approach. The chapter concludes with a look at the future outlook for the WYSIWYA Editor, including plans to make it open-source and develop a community around it. User feedback and evaluation results are also presented, showcasing the editor's positive impact on the workflow of literary scholars.
