<br>
Perhaps you could put the Attested Forms into Subentries, like this:<br>
<br>
\lx Proto-form<br>
\gl English gloss<br>
<br>
\se Attested form<br>
\ge English gloss<br>
\va (=Variant Form) Language name (or use one of the Etymology
fields, or Encyclopedic, or \ps, \nt, \lf ...)<br>
\va Language name <br>
\va Language name ...<br>
<br>
\se Attested form<br>
...<br>
<br>
This would look nice in Lexique Pro, and in Toolbox you can sort on the
\se field, then export a custom db for an Attested Forms index.<br>
<br>
Another possibility might be to use \rn or \re for the attested forms,
instead of *or in addition to* the above. I haven't tried this, but it
seems as if you could set it up as follows, and then TB Reverse Finder
List to print out an index by attested forms.<br>
<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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:<o></o></span></font></p>

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?<o></o></span></font></p>
