 TEI Complete

This TEI customization describes a schema that includes all of the TEI (P5) modules. This is a very useful starting place for manually creating your own customizations — it is much easier to delete the modules you do not want than to add the modules you do. Furthermore this customization often proves helpful for testing TEI software.

However, this particular TEI customization is not recommended for actual use for encoding documents. It produces schemas and reference documentation that will be much larger, and include many more elements, than almost anyone could conceivably ever need. Tempting though it may be simply to have absolutely everything, and just ignore elements not required, experience has shown that their presence makes the documentation harder to read and use, and makes a schema that is far more lax than desired.
