Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.
When you submit a contribution to us, you will probably send us a file that you have prepared using a word processing program (Word, OpenOffice, etc) or some kind of text editor. We will then
Word processing (and writing in general) does involve a kind of markup, but it is ambiguous and context-dependent. For example, when you are word processing, you might italicize to indicate visually that a passage is in Latin. Italicization, indentation, capitalization, spacing, and other typographical and handwriting conventions are a form of markup. However, such markup is potentially ambiguous: italicization can mean lots of different things, such as a foreign word, a monograph title, an emphasized word, or a transcription of a word that was italicized in its original context; in the past, printers italicized all names. Because italicization is ambiguous, machines cannot parse it. Human readers draw on context, typographical conventions, and disciplinary conventions to parse an italicized phrase as an instance of a foreign language, or an indented bit of text as a long quotation (especially if it has a parenthetical page reference at the end, which functions as a corroborating bit of markup).
The kind of encoding that we do with TEI-XML, however, demands that we encode truthfully and label things as what they actually are. Our markup has to be unambiguous. When we are encoding your file, we will add tags to mark up a long quotation as a citation using the
The MoEML encoders are skilled at translating your copy into markup. It helps, however, if your intentions are clear. We always appreciate comments and clarifications.
Before you send your contribution to the MoEML team in Victoria, please ensure that you have met the following criteria, as elaborated on below:
Submissions should follow the MoEML Guide to Editorial Style, which
expands on the conventions of
To help us encode your contribution correctly, indicate the following clearly using the normal typographical conventions:
long sin your character map, you will find that this character is available in most fonts. You will be given the option to select and copy the character. If your submission contains many transcriptions, you might want to make a keyboard shortcut in your word processor or text editor for the
Most of our contributors and Pedagogical Partners thus far have left the encoding to the MoEML encoding assistants. In the event that you are familiar with XML and TEI, we are always grateful for .xml files that include at least some MoEML tagging. See MoEML’s Praxis pages if you would like to try encoding your article. (We will add further guidelines here after the pilot term of our Encoding Pedagogical Partnership in Spring 2015. Our goal is to create a downloadable mini-project with templates and encoding instructions for use in TEI courses and for use by contributors who wish to do their own markup.)
If you do not encode your own contribution, you will need to give our encoders clear instructions. Most of our contributors to date have elected to submit .doc, .docx, .txt, or .odt files. Please embed in your contribution any special instructions to the MoEML encoders, via comment bubbles, brackets, and/or footnotes. If you elect to use brackets, we would appreciate double square brackets around your comments to us, which we can find quickly using Ctrl+F. Example: [[Encoder, please make a link from the previous word to the gazetteer]]. If you use footnotes, please distinguish notes that are meant to be footnotes in your contribution from instructional notes directed to the MoEML encoders. Again, double square brackets are helpful. Note that our peer reviewers are accustomed to seeing (and ignoring) such instructions in the files they review for MoEML.
We will create links to any pages within our site (including places, people, library texts, and terms) or to any open-access sites or pages to which you ask us to hyperlink your contribution.

Images enliven a webpage and may even be necessary to illustrate a point. At the moment, MoEML does not have formal agreements with any particular institution other than the London Metropolitan Archives to use images. We do not have a budget for purchasing the rights to images,
If we cannot embed an image on our site, we can easily point to the URL of the image on another site. For example, London Metropolitan Archives has put some of its images on its flickr Photostream and many more on Collage. All rights are reserved, but at least MoEML readers can see the object you are talking about. We can point to EEBO images and other resources behind a subscription payroll, but bear in mind that only readers with subscriptions to those resources will be able to see the image. Open-access resources will serve MoEML users better.British Printed Images to 1700 is a digital library of prints and book illustrations from early modern Britain. It also offers various resources aimed at furthering our knowledge and understanding of them.
. Most of the images in this extraordinarily useful resource come from the British Library Department of Prints and Drawings; the rest come from various other institutions, including the National Art Library (at the Victoria and Albert Museum). Teachers will be interested in the Resources Section. A handy feature is the alphabetical list of This database offers access to tens of thousands of high resolution images from the Folger Shakespeare Library, including books, theater memorabilia, manuscripts, and art. Users can show multiple images side-by-side, zoom in and out, view cataloging information when available, export thumbnails, and construct persistent URLs linking back to items or searches.
The Folger has generously licensed all of these images under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, which covers MoEML’s educational, non-commercial use. See their Policy on how to cite images.
If your contribution does include images, please send the following:
With your contribution, provide a brief abstract of up to 150 words that gives a summative and interesting overview of your submission. It may include details such as events, important literary references, or cultural significance. Your abstract will appear in the pop-up box that is rendered when users click on the link to your contribution.
Do not include spaces in file names. Replace spaces with underscores. Our house style is to name all files with underscores (submit_contribution, for example) but CamelCase is also acceptable (SubmitContribution).
Submit files as email attachments with the contribution title in the email subject line. MoEML can process .xml, .doc, .docx, .odt, .txt, or .rtf files. If you cannot submit a file in one of those formats, contact us to arrange an alternative.
