Subject: Exporting from FLEx to Archiving/Collaboration

 
I'm looking to get interlinear glossed text (IGT) that I've created in FLEx
into a form where I can share and collaborate with others. The only way to do
this in FLEx is to share the whole database (and keep it synced in dropbox or
via some other format), and all I really need is the IGT texts.

I have found a lot of tools can import from toolbox, but so far as I can FLEx
only exports IGT to .flextext, Word XML, and a few other XML formats. I'm
curious if other folks have found good ways of exporting FLEx IGT into other
programs where multiple people can contribute, or into IGT databases. Just
being able to go from FLEx into a toolbox format would be enough, as that's
widely-parsed and importable. Has anyone found a good solution for getting
their IGT out of FLEx?

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
