This week-long course provides a wide-ranging and practical exploration of electronic texts and related technologies.
The course is aimed primarily (although not exclusively) at the following users:
Drawing on the experience and resources available at UVa's Electronic Text Center, the course will cover the following areas: how to find existing etexts; how to use a scanner to create etexts, including archival-quality digital image facsimiles; the utility and necessity of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) for etext development and use; text analysis software; the management and use of on-line text databases; and the creation of World Wide Web hypertexts.
As a focus for our study of etexts, the class will create an electronic version of a print or manuscript text, mark its structure with SGML tagging, create digital images of sample pages and illustrations, produce a hypertext version, and make it all available on the Internet.
