        </header>
        <p>
            <a href="http://voyant-tools.org/">Voyant Tools</a> is a popular web-based workbench for
            reading and analyzing texts. Read more about it <a href="http://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/about">here</a>. </p>
        <p> Voyant allows you to upload your own datasets. You can use the
                <code>contributions</code> spring to extract all the text by a particular writer
            into a TEI Corpus and then explore it in Voyant. If you wanted to use Voyant to explore
            the writings of Tristan Tzara, for example, you would do the following: </p>
        <ol>
            <li>Use the spring to extract the corpus and write it to your local computer.
                <pre class="pre-scrollable">curl -H'Accept:application/tei+xml' http://bluemountain.princeton.edu/exist/restxq/springs/contributions?byline=Tzara &gt; /tmp/tzara.tei.xml</pre>
            </li>
            <li> Go to <a href="http://voyant-tools.org/">Voyant Tools</a>. </li>
            <li> In the <code>options</code> menu, change Input Format from Auto Detect to TEI
                Corpus. </li>
            <li> Click on the Upload button, navigate to /tmp, and select tzara.tei.xml. </li>
        </ol>
        <p> Your corpus should open in Voyant's main window. Explore! </p>
