In addition to printed texts, <code>ekdosis</code> can convert <code>.tex</code> source files so as to produce <code>TEI xml</code> compliant critical editions.

+% \paragraph{Backup of Essential Files}
+% Each time the |.tex| source file is compiled, \pkg{ekdosis} reads
+% the |.aux| corresponding \LaTeX\ auxiliary file and its own |.ekd|
+% auxiliary file so as to process labels and collect entries of the
+% apparatus criticus. If for whatever reason\---e.g.\ some unknown
+% command has been inserted\---the compilation freezes and so must be
+% aborted, it may happen that most of the edition text has to be
+% reconstructed page after page. For large and complex editions, this
+% makes advisable to have current versions of those files backed up
+% each time a new compilation begins, which can be achieved by
+% inserting the following lines before the line that loads the
+% document class:---
+% 
+% \iffalse
+%<*example>
+% \fi
+\begin{minted}[linenos=false]{latex}
+\RequirePackage{verbatimcopy}
+\IfFileExists{\jobname.aux}{%
+  \OldVerbatimCopy{\jobname.aux}{\jobname.aux.bak}}{}
+\IfFileExists{\jobname.ekd}{%
+  \OldVerbatimCopy{\jobname.ekd}{\jobname.ekd.bak}}{}
+\documentclass{book}
+\end{minted}
+% \iffalse
+%</example>
+% \fi
+%
+% This way, both |.aux| and |.ekd| files can be recovered from
+% |.aux.bak| and |.ekd.bak| just after the compilation has been
+% aborted. Should this be needed, one must proceed carefully as
+% follows:---
+% \begin{enumerate}
+% \item Just after the compilation has been aborted, move both
+%   |aux.bak| and |ekd.bak| files to a safe place.
+% \item Remove or correct the offending command or lines that broke
+%   the compilation and make sure that the issue is solved.
+% \item Restore the |.aux| and |.ekd| files from |aux.bak| and
+% |.ekd.bak| and resume work where it was left off.
