- Programme short link: tinyurl.com/MUEpiDoc
- Laptop (especially for day 1, a tablet won’t be enough)
- For 3D, using a mouse will be much better than your trackpad
- Digital camera. Feel free to bring a good camera if you have one, but a tablet or smartphone will also be just fine
- Including a physical cable to transfer photographs to your laptop
- If you use an iPhone/iPad as your camera, make sure you know how to download images as JPG files
- Oxygen XML Editor (download) (30-day free trial)
- If you prefer, you may instead use an open source XML editor such as Visual Studio Code, with the extensions XML (XML Language Support by Red Hat) and tei-publisher-vscode (Visual Studio Code extension to support TEI editing) installed. You may need to restart your computer after installing plugins.
