The Corpus feature lets you group together a set of Stylo articles. It serves two main purposes:

  • to add a further level of organization to articles (in addition to labels). As in the case of editing a journal issue, it becomes possible to attach all the articles in that issue to a single corpus, thus providing a new hierarchical level of document organization rather than having everything on the tags level alone;
  • to group together articles that you would like to export together (this follows on from the former Book feature, now deprecated).

Corpora are implemented in both personal and workspaces. So a corpus does not necessarily belong to a single user, but can also be shared within a workspace.

Please note: The corpus management page does not give access to articles. It is not possible to modify them from this area. The corpus manager only allows the creation, reading, modification or deletion of corpus-related data.

Create a corpus #

To create a corpus, first go to the corpus management page by clicking on the [Corpus] button in the black banner at the top of the interface.

Corpus button

Next, the [Create a corpus] button displays a form in a pop-up window. This form contains two fields: title and description. The first (title) is mandatory, and the second (description) is optional.

Create a corpus

Once created, the corpus appears in the corpus manager, offering four new functions:

  • Edit the corpus;
  • Delete the corpus;
  • Export the corpus;
  • Preview the corpus.

Ordering a corpus #

When several Stylo articles are grouped together in the same corpus, it is possible to order them. To do this, return to the corpus manager by clicking on the [Corpus] button in the black banner at the top of the interface.

Then, in the same way as the article manager, unfold the corpus information window and arrange the articles using drag-and-drop (hold down the left click and move the cursor to position the article in the right place, then release).

Note: Unlike articles, there is no access to the export function from the document editing interface, since the corpus exports several articles at the same time.

A window opens with several export options:

  • the format to be produced:
  • HTML5 ;
  • ZIP ;
  • PDF ;
  • LATEX ;
  • XML (ÉRUDIT) ;
  • ODT ;
  • DOCX ;
  • EPUB ;
  • XML TEI ;
  • ICML.
  • additional options:
  • presence or absence of a table of contents;
  • numbering or absence of chapters and sections;
  • type of content division.
