This file contains the documentation for the develpoment of the EpiDoc TEI viewer used in I.Sicily and available for re-use on GitHub in the ISicily/epidoc-viewer repository. The file is an empty copy of the I.Sicily template, with only the text-division populated with the rules for Leiden-style transformation of EpiDoc encoding. Although the rules detailed here are nominally specific to the I.Sicily project, they are based almost without exception upon the standard EpiDoc guidelines and therefore should be readily applicable to other projects. All the encoding employed follows the standard epidoc guidelines. The exact choices made in the transformation for display are occasionally more idiosyncratic, reflecting the multi-lingual needs of I.Sicily and the occasional limitations or ambiguities of 'Leiden' conventions. The rules are presented in the form of an encoded line of epidoc, followed by an xml comment which details the desired transformation, and often a second xml comment containing additional explanation.
