Setting up Atom for XML editing

Once you have installed Atom, you need to link a plugin that will validate your XML against the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).

1. Clone or download the atomic-tei github repository at https://github.com/neelsmith/atomic-tei
2. In a bash shell, cd into the cloned/downloaded repository, and run apm link

That’s it. Note that if you later decide to move the atom-tei directory somewhere else, you’ll need to rerun apm link from the new location.
