Dear Allan,
You might try moving down a step in the hierarchy and put the English gloss
in its proper place and then use the example sentence as the Language name.

[Lexicog] how to compile data on
2007-03-22 04:31 proto-language reconstruction
Please respond to

Hi all,
I’m trying to help a colleague get a collection of Proto language data into a
format that could be posted on a website. We have it in a Toolbox format and I’d
like to export it to HTML from Lexique Pro. The format is a lot like a dictionary
but enough different that I’m running into trouble. A typical entry goes something
like this:
Proto-form
English gloss
Attested form
English gloss
Language name (abbreviation for a language/dialect area which attests
this form and meaning)
Language name
Language name
English gloss
Language name
Language name
Language name
Attested form
English gloss
Language name
Language name
Language name
The only way I’ve found to make this work with Toolbox / Lexique Pro is to put the
English gloss in the \ps field and the language abbreviations in the \ge field.
But this feels like a major abuse of the system. Do any of you know of a format
that’s really meant for this kind of data?
