This paper deals with challenges in adapting the XML-TEI publishing framework Versioning Machine to compositional drafts of 20th-century literary works and describes the main customisations that have been implemented to suit a genetic edition of poetry by Pedro Homem de Mello. The case study emphasises that even minimal customisations require technical work that may go beyond an editor’s skill.
