LEMDO Platform
Para1The LEMDO documentation anthology has been encoded on and built by the Linked Early
Modern Drama Online (LEMDO) platform, hosted by the Humanities Computing and Media
Centre at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. LEMDOʼs files are
encoded in the XML encoding language of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). LEMDO’s
customization of TEI P5 is designed primarily for editing early modern dramatic texts
and editorial paratexts but also includes tags for writing documentation and sample
XML.
Para2LEMDO uses a Subversion repository to keep files under version control, and a Jenkins
Continuous Integration Server to produce anthologies in the form of static, Endings-compliant HTML pages. LEMDO anthologies have no server-side dependencies. The LEMDO search
is powered by the Project Endings staticSearch Generator developed by Martin Holmes and Joey Takeda and customized for LEMDO by Martin Holmes.
Para3LEMDO has adopted the periodic static release model, whereby new versions (editions)
of the documentation anthology are released as new content is ready for publication.
A release of this documentation anthology—a bundle of self-contained HTML pages—can
be downloaded onto your device and read on a browser even without an internet connection.
Contact the LEMDO Team for more information if you want to download a static version of the LEMDO documentation
anthology.
