Convert TXT to TEIXML

A TXT file, short for "Text", is a digital document that contains plain text without any formatting. It is universally compatible across different operating systems and software applications, making it ideal for storing data in a simple, accessible format. The history of TXT files dates back to the earliest days of computing, where simplicity and interoperability were paramount. Widely used for coding, scripting, documentation, and data exchange, TXT files remain a fundamental component in various IT environments due to their efficiency and versatility.

The TEIXML file extension refers to the Text Encoding Initiative XML (TEI XML), a standardized format for encoding texts in the humanities and social sciences. Developed in the 1980s, TEI XML facilitates the digital representation of texts, enabling detailed markup of structural, semantic, and presentational features. It is widely used for creating and sharing digital editions of texts, ensuring interoperability and preservation. TEI XML is an application of Extensible Markup Language (XML), that provides a flexible and robust framework for text encoding.
