The team of The Digital Humanities 2014 conference created a tool based on the Aloha Editor to save time and effort.
Every year, reformatting the abstracts from their original submission formats (Word, PDF, etc.) into TEI (for publishing the on-line version and the book of abstracts) is a long and tedious process. Previous local organisers all agree that this task is one the most time-consuming of the entire DH Conference “adventure”.
With the browser based DHwriter it’s possible to create an abstract for a proposal for a session at the conference in HTML format (including advanced content like MathML / Latex) and export it as a special kind of PDF, called “Review PDF”.

If you want to use this open source software for your conference feel free to fork it on GitHub. Here you find further details on the tool. DHwriter is using the OERpub fork of Aloha Editor.
