ExtractTEIText applies an XSL transformation to an input TEI XML file to extract the text from the body of the file.

Usage:

extractteitext input.xml output.xml

where

The XSLT transformation used to extract the text is defined in the tei2text.xsl file in the xslt directory of the MorphAdorner release. This transformation works well for unadorned TEI files, not so well for adorned files. You can use the Unadorn utility to unadorn an adorned file before extracting the text.
