Documentation

 

Paste the Leiden-formatted text into the text box. By default, a line break in the text is taken to be a real line break in the inscription; if you don't want that, check the box marked ignore line breaks, in which case only a '/' willbe taken as a line break.

 

Now press the convert button, and the marked up text appearsbelow. This is not a complete EpiDoc file; it must be pasted into a div type="edition"in a TEI EpiDoc file, and may need tweaking, correction, or disambiguation.

 

You would then typically add your own editorial comments, description, and so forth.
