DfM-Creator - DictionaryGeneration / Re: Is this file good for conv...
Last post by Gert - 17. July 2017, 19:11:53language1 (= column 1) does not have content declarations -> Language-1 number of content declarations = 0
language2 (= column 2) does have content declarations -> Language-2 number of content declarations = 2 or 3 (or other value)
Strings such as "<c>", "<blockquote>" and "<" need to be replaced in column 2.

Last post by Gert - 17. July 2017, 18:22:55Example from your last screenshot:
Source:
[ b][c blue]Abartung[/c][/b]
Convert for DfM to:
[01Abartung]
To make "Abartung" bold and blue (assuming it is the column for language2):
language2Content01FontStyle:bold
language2Content01FontColour:0,0,255
Here is the complete example from http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/DfM-Creator/newdictContent.html:
Content tags for the dictionaries
In the dictionaries the content parts are marked with the following syntax:
Each content has a start delimiter at the beginning and an end delimiter at the end.
Start delimiter:
[NN
where NN is the content number. This needs to be a two-digit number !
End delimiter:
]
To use a [ or ] character in the text (without content syntax) a \ (backslash) must be prepended: \[ and \]
A newline-character is \n and a tab-character is \t
Here is an example for a language2 column:
dictionary [01dikshionari] [02noun] [03\nA book that contains translations for words.]
(Content numbers are boldfaced only for didactical purposes)
In that example the following properties are declared:
language2Content01DisplayText:contentPronunciation
language2Content02DisplayText:contentGrammaticalCategory
language2Content03DisplayText:contentNotes
Contents can also be nested. Example:
dictionary [01dikshionari] [03\nA book that contains translations for words. [02noun]\nAlso exists in electronic form]

Last post by Itman - 17. July 2017, 17:51:04Sorry I dont get it. Look at my first screenshot. I mark bold with <b> </b> how should I tell the languageXContentNNDisplayText to mark it bold?

Say, what do you mean by "convert it back to txt"? Does this mean how to convert it in a format that is readable by DfM-Creator ("Input CSV file").
2. Italics etc.
You can define italics etc. via the Contents. From http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/DfM-Creator/newdictContent.html:
languageXContentNNFontStyle
Defines the font style for the content. Allowed values are provided in the ComboBoxes as follows:
bold
italic
underlined
plain
Examples from the screen-shot:
language1Content01FontStyle:plain
language1Content02FontStyle:italic
language2Content01FontStyle:bold
language2Content02FontStyle:italic
language3Content01FontStyle:underlined
language3Content02FontStyle:bold
This property is optional, the default value is plain.

Last post by Gert - 17. July 2017, 17:11:38The DfM format is documented in our web pages:
You could look at
http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/DfM-Creator/index.html, there "Complete Documentation"
http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/DfM-Creator/newdict.html
And for tags: http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/DfM-Creator/newdictContent.html
Duden, I assume, would be copyrighted material and could not be made available for public download (the licensing conditions would tell more).

Gert

Last post by Itman - 17. July 2017, 16:05:53Thank you for your answer. Its a normal Duden German German dictionary.
In .dsl format it looks like this:
Since I am creating .dsl dictionaries myself, it is not a problem to convert it to a different format manually (by regular expressions). How is the DFM format built? What tags are you using?

Last post by Gert - 17. July 2017, 15:25:38I just had a look at the screenshot.
I guess it is not easy to convert this dictionary for DictionaryForMIDs. What words/expression does it lookup? I mean, is it for looking up expressions such as "anders denkende". How is such an expression identified? Is it following a newline/carriage return?
Well, some preprocessing will certainly be required: the tags such as <blockquote> or <c> would need to be converted into something that is understood by DictionaryForMIDs (some "content" there).
In total I think, yes it will be possible to convert this dictionary for DictionaryForMIDs, but it will be some effort.
Besides, what 'dictionary' is it?

Gert

Last post by Gert - 17. July 2017, 15:16:00Please, just give us some further information. For example, can you give us a few lines from the .dictd input file? Maybe also a few lines from the generated dictionary-outputfiles.
Thanks,
Gert
