be

in

national
> language or English or the Regional language.
> Shoebox also has a simple HTML output for posting dictionaries on the
> internet. In addition to these, Shoebox will interlinearize text and put

> after the dictionary has been linked to the text file.
> Shoebox also does word lists and concordances of given words.

> Is SHOEBOX xml compliant?
> If not, is there any effort to make it xml compliant?
