This is a tool for converting ATF, a text markup format used by the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative to describe inscriptions on clay tablets and other artefacts, and TEI, an XML markup format used by the Text Encoding Initiative for digital representation of scholarly texts.

It is intended as part of an interface to make the CDLI and related databases more accessible.

The project was originally written as part of a Google Summer of Code project in 2019.

pipenv install
pipenv run python atf2tei.py SIL-034.atf

The first line sets up a python virtual environment and installs the dependencies. It only needs to be run once. The second converts the included atf text file to tei.
