Editor's Notes
- Binder holes to giant letter Os
- Doesn’t that just feel better?
- Once formatted for TEI, check for valid XML. Parser considered incidents like [BACKGROUND COMMENT] spoken text, or didn’t catch them and left them in the middle of paragraphs. had to change tags.
- Briefly how this works. Runs in browser.
- Point out where timecode is added
- Sync points correspond to timecode from last slide
