What's EVT?
EVT - Edition Visualization Technology was born in the context of the Digital Vercelli Book project, which has been recently published in a new edition, but it has evolved in a tool suitable to fit different texts and needs. For example, it is now being used to publish the digital edition of the Codice Pelavicino manuscript, a medieval codex preserving charters dating back to the XIII century. The continuous development and need to adapt it to different types of documents and TEI-encoded texts has shifted the development focus towards creation of a more general tool for the web publication of TEI-based documents, able to cater for multiple use cases.
EVT is open source software, available for everybody to customize and modify. It is also based on the client-only architecture, which means that creating an EVT-based edition is as simple as copying the edition folder on a web server.
