-            <p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="mano">&lt;MANO&gt;</span> is a digital platform designed to support the scholarly study, structured description, and transcription of manuscripts. Developed for academic research and teaching, <span class="mano">&lt;MANO&gt;</span> serves as a workspace where users can interact with sources through structured metadata entry, manuscripts metadata collections and transcription viewer. By combining a user-friendly interface with compliance to <a href="https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/MS.html" target="_blank">TEI P5 manuscript description guidelines</a>, the platform enables the creation of interoperable metadata, encoding of historical and codicological data, and export of information in widely used formats such as TEI-XML and JSON. This ensures both compatibility with other digital humanities initiatives and long-term reusability of the data.</p>
-            <p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="editor.html">Metadata Editor</a> facilitates detailed documentation of a manuscript's physical, historical, and codicological features - such as origin, provenance, script, dimensions, and more - while offering download options for further analysis or archival purposes. Once manuscript metadata is finalized, the resulting JSON files can be contributed to the <span class="mano">&lt;MANO&gt;</span> GitHub repository. All records automatically become part of the publicly accessible <a href="collection.html">Metadata Collection</a>, where manuscript descriptions contributed by the community can be explored, searched, and filtered. 
-            The <a href="viewer.html">Transcription Viewer</a> supports TEI XML encoding and provides a visual interface where users can simultaneously view XML code, rendered transcription, and digitized facsimiles for a fully synchronized editing and reading experience.
-            
-            In addition, the <a href="resources.html">Resources</a> section provides learning materials, guidelines, and references for manuscript studies, TEI encoding, and digital editing practices. This combination of structured metadata management, collaborative metadata sharing, transcription tools, and educational resources makes <span class="mano">&lt;MANO&gt;</span> a practical tool for teaching manuscript studies, experimenting with digital editing, and engaging in collaborative research. It empowers users not only to study manuscripts but to meaningfully contribute to the creation of digital scholarly resources.</p>

                   <span>The Transcription Viewer allows the upload of manuscript transcriptions created with external tools in XML format. Once loaded, the transcription is displayed in three synchronized views: the <b>raw XML code</b>, a <b>rendered text</b> version with basic styling, and - when available - <b>digitized manuscript images</b> aligned with the transcription. This setup enables a combined view of structure, content, and original manuscript facsimiles.
                   <br/>The XML can be modified directly within the editor panel. By clicking <b>Update Preview</b>, the visual rendering and image alignment are refreshed to reflect the changes. The updated transcription may then be downloaded as a new XML file for further use.
+                  <br/>When a single transcription file in TEI-XML is not available but multiple PAGE-XML files are provided, the <b>Convert PAGE-XML into TEI-XML</b> button can be used. A dedicated page is opened where the PAGE-XML files may be uploaded and merged into one combined TEI-XML file. Once generated and downloaded, the unified file can then be uploaded into the Transcription Viewer for visualization and further editing.
