===Technical details=== The standard is split into two parts, a discursive textual description with extended examples and discussion and set of tag-by-tag definitions. Schemata in most of the modern formats ([[Document Type Definition|DTD]], [[RELAX NG]] and [[XML Schema (W3C)]]) are generated automatically from the tag-by-tag definitions. A number of tools support the production of the guidelines and the application of the guidelines to specific projects. A number of special tags are used to circumvent restrictions imposed by the underlying [[Unicode]]; {{mono|glyph}} to allow representation of characters that do not qualify for Unicode inclusion<ref name="auto"/>{{Failed verification|date=March 2025 |reason=This probably wants to be, instead of a reference to the page for word, the g or glyph pages, or perhaps https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/WD.html ; but in none of these places is this exact rationale for πππ’ππ given, anyway. If anything, the page just linked suggests that you π΄π©π°πΆππ₯ submit your new characters to Unicode for inclusion!}} and {{mono|choice}} to allow overcome the required strict linearity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-choice.html|title=Element choice|website=www.tei-c.org}}</ref> Most users of the format do not use the complete range of tags, but produce a customisation using a project-specific subset of the tags and attributes defined by the Guidelines. The TEI defines a sophisticated customization mechanism known as ODD for this purpose. In addition to documenting and describing each TEI tag, an ODD specification specifies its content model and other usage constraints, which may be expressed using [[schematron]]. ''TEI Lite'' is an example of such a customization. It defines an XML-based [[file format]] for exchanging texts. It is a manageable selection from the extensive set of elements available in the full TEI Guidelines. As an XML-based format, TEI cannot directly deal with [[overlapping markup]] and non-hierarchical structures. A variety of options to represent this sort of data is suggested by the guidelines.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/NH.html |title=20 Non-hierarchical Structures - TEI P5: β Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange |work=tei-c.org |year=2019 |access-date=19 March 2019}}</ref>
