XMod: A TEI based publication application (from CCH)

xMod is a desktop application which can transform a repository of XML into a completely finished website.

The entire process can be setup and run to produce a basic website very quickly assuming some prerequisites:

1. A set of valid XML files. These would normally comply with a TEI DTD.
2. Some basic configuration. xMod needs to be told about the structure of the documents and the way in which they relate to one another (this forms the basis of the navigation system).
3. A ‘personality pack’. xMod accepts a special set of CSS and image files which determine the look and feel. However if they are not present, the completed website falls back on a default look and feel.

With this basic preparation done, the xMod application can be run and the resulting HTML output uploaded to a server (link).
