This library parses the TEI-encoded Shakespeare plays published by the Folger
Shakespeare Library. It also demonstrates different use cases for stage data by
providing some example applications.

You can download individual plays [here][downloads] and the complete set
[here][download-all].

[downloads]: http://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org/download/
[download-all]: http://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org/download/xml/FolgerDigitalTexts_XML_Complete.zip

The toolset can be installed using cabal or stack:

    cabal install folgerhs
    stack install folgerhs

Once installed, it can be used as a library (documentation needs yet to be
written) or as an application.

## Stage animation

The current speaker is surrounded by a white border, arrows going up represent
characters leaving the stage, arrows going down represent characters entering
it. The animation can be stopped using the `space` bar, you can advance it by
using the `right` arrow and rewind it using the `left` one.

    $ folgerhs animate TN.xml
