What CWRC-Writer can do for you

The Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory (CWRC) has developed an in-browser text markup editor (CWRC-Writer) for use by individual scholars and collaborative scholarly editing projects that require a light-weight online editing environment. This package is the base code that builds on the TinyMCE editor, and is meant to be bundled together with two other packages that provide document storage and entity lookup. A default version of the CWRC-Writer that uses GitHub for storage is available for anyone's use at https://cwrc-writer.cwrc.ca/.

CWRC-Writer provides close-to-WYSIWYG editing and enrichment of text files with meaningful visual representations of markup, the ability to add Named Entity Annotations with identifiers from LOD sources, the ability to combine TEI markup for the text with stand-off RDF annotations, the ability to export into different forms (XML, RDF, and JSON-LD), and the option of using Github for document storage.
