Here be Dragons!

Your old files will not work with P5:

  1. <TEI.2> is now <TEI> and <teiCorpus.2> is now <teiCorpus>
  2. TEI elements are in the http://www.tei-c.org/P5/ namespace
  3. many attribute values may have changed… Y|N is now true|false
  4. … or disappeared
    • text-valued attributes to become child elements
    • lang to become xml:lang
    • id to become xml:id
    • all IDREF (target) values to become URLs
  5. Your TEI extension files will almost certainly require re-writing —but there will be substantial payoffs
