Image Markup Tool

The Image Markup Tool is an open source software, allowing to annotate images, create TEI files and generate ready-to-publish XHTML files.

= Functionalities = The software is fully TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) compliant - File format based on TEI P5 schema. - RelaxNG schema. - Basic export/re-import in DocBook format. - Loading and display of a wide variety of image formats. - Insertion of resizable, movable annotation areas on the image. - Association of a title and text (TEI XML code) with each annotation area. - Configurable categories for sorting annotations into groups. - Configurable colour for each category and configurable display shape for each category. - Display of a list of annotation areas by title, for ease of navigation. - Re-ordering of annotations and categories. - Display/editing of the teiHeader element. - Syntax highlighting for XML editing (in the Annotation Text and teiHeader editing boxes), using the UniSysEdit open-source control. - Switch from @facs to a combination of @facs (for transcriptional annotations) and @corresp (for non-transcriptional annotations) as the attribute used to link annotation divs to their corresponding zones on the image, in line with 2008 changes to TEI P5. etc.
