Sorting is most likely done by Unicode order. (The Unicode character database, UnicodeData.txt, is available from http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/) To even alphabetize polytonic Greek, I had to reduce each character to its lower case, unaccented form, sort on those first, then on the actual word.
Peace, David was a bit surprised by the collation of some of the words. Any word ith an accent is collated "out of order". For example Ā is sorted after (there are no words beginning with Z) in the Anglo-Saxon Dictionary. -----Original Message----- From: DM Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: SWORD Developers' Collaboration Forum <sword-devel@crosswire.org> Sent: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 11:48 am Subject: Re: [sword-devel] demo TEI modules Chris, ot that I would find any personal use in the dictionaries, I think they re great. Hopefully, these will set the stage for osis to model this nto it's schema. I've got some work to do on JSword to get them to display properly in ibleDesktop. Currently it is using a "plain text" filter. And the erformance is terrible, because of how JSword slurps the entire module o display the entire list of words. I didn't see any TEI to HTML ilters in Sword, so I guess there is some work to do there too. I was a bit surprised by the collation of some of the words. Any word ith an accent is collated "out of order". For example Ā is sorted after (there are no words beginning with Z) in the Anglo-Saxon Dictionary. It appears that it is comparing the bytes and not the characters (let lone the code points of the characters). Also, TEI entry and entryFree and superEntry tags define the attribute key" to be used to control the collation of the words. Can this be everaged? Related, when doing a lookup should we allow lookup without the diacritics?

But I use them personally and thought I might as well package them up to share as demos. They are buggy. I know that. I'll see about posting a Middle Liddell soon, but it's been a bit more of a challenge because of character encoding. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page ______________________________________________ word-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org ttp://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel nstructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
