Training Materials

On these materials

Here are various presentations and other training resources on the use of Beta maṣāhəft website and XML encoding, some of which originally based on the training materials of EpiDoc, divided into programs and single presentations.

Those presentations as they were given at that point will be linked in the programs, or only with the participants of that specific training, while the latest shareable version of a given presentation is linked below.
