Suppose you have texts, aspects of whose syntax,
structure, or format correspond to TAN or TEI elements or markup. This application allows
you to write regular-expression-based rules to convert that text into a TAN or TEI format.
Input consists of one or more files in plain text, XML, or Word docx. The input is processed
against each rule, in order of appearance, progressively structuring the text. Body Builder
is intended for intermediate and advanced users who are comfortable with regular expressions
and XML markup. The application is ideal for cases where complex, numerous, or lengthy
documents need to be converted into TAN or TEI, as well as for developing workflows where live,
ever-changing work needs to be regularly pushed into a TAN or TEI format.
