# What Does TEI Markup Look Like?
The following example is from [The Walt Whitman Archive](https://whitmanarchive.org/manuscripts/transcriptions/loc.00001.html). It shows a portion of the markup written to create a facsimile of the original manuscript for Whitman's poem "The Argument."
As you can see in the TEI facsimile below, the Archive seeks to replicate the edits made in the manuscript as well as the layout of the text:
The TEI markup below looks very different from the facsimile but, if you look closely, you can probably understand some of what the markup is doing.
```
After
an
the
unsolv'd
argument
The
Coming in,
a
A
group of
little children, and their
ways and chatter, flow
in,
upon me
Like
welcome
rippling water o'er my
heated
nerves and
flesh.
Walt Whitman
