“Episode 1 has a puzzle exercise (fill the blanks) which can worth better on paper”
work?

I can’t download any of the files from this page, but I can download them from the Episodes section.

Introduction to TEI. “It is used for metadata, transcription, detailed descriptions and linking.”

What do you mean by “metadata” here? This is an issue for us: we understand “metadata” to refer to the TEI header, the bibliographic information so to speak, but we never use it to refer to the transcription itself, the TEI body

cf. passage in https://uomlibrary.github.io/workshop-tei/01-introduction/index.html
“Of course we already have interoperable cataloguing languages (such as MARC and EAD) but TEI provides the richness of metadata along with scholarly information which makes it an peerless researcher/educational tool.”

Elements and Attributes.

The two bullet points end with a note “FIXME”. Is that meant to be still there? (Also in other places, guess it’s provisional)

and: https://uomlibrary.github.io/workshop-tei/01-introduction/index.html

Fig. 7, right hand side. The closing tags (light orange figures) should include the forward slash, e.g. /salute, /opener, /orig, /reg, /choice etc.

Fig. 7, left hand side. The double quotation marks enclosing attributes are curly rather than straight.

Subsection XML content and elements: “Every element has an opening and closing ‘tag’.”

As pointed out elsewhere in the website and in the following sentence in this same paragraph, most do but not all the elements. Perhaps rephrase?

“then the content in double quotes”

these should be straight quotes (which oXygen does automatically, but still)

On front/back. That’s accurate as far as TEI goes, but in our project we have been advised to leave them out because MDC can’t cope with these elements. Just mentioning it in case it’s relevant for other projects, too.

Section “Transcription and intellectual metadata”,

the image displaying on this page belongs to HAM/1/10/1/11, as indicated below the image, but the hyperlink above the image, where it says “made available online” links to a different letter. Should it be the same one? It would be:
