Hi, could someone kindly tell me what the file "triplets.txt" is used
for, and if I need to have it in my rules directory or not?
It's used for the TextCat plugin (which provides the ok_languages
option). While you should have it in your rules directory, it won't
break anything if you've got TextCat disabled.
Just to be more specific -- it needs to be in the default rules directory.
You don't need it in the local state dir, site rules dir, user preferences
dir, etc.
If it's not there already, your install would seem to have some issues.
Theo,
It would appear that triplets.txt is not included with 3.2.4, and
probably isn't in any 3.2.x release.
Looking at the code, triplets.txt is still used by
HeaderEval.pm:word_is_in_dictionary(), which in turn is used in
HeaderEval.pm:check_for_unique_subject_id(). However, no rules in the
standard set utilize that eval in 3.2.4. It was used by SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID
in 3.1.x, but that rule isn't present anymore in 3.2.4. It would appear
triplets.txt was removed because nothing is actually using it anymore,
however I would expect the eval functions using it should have been
removed at the same time.
After a bit more research, TextCat appears to actually use the
"languages" file instead of triplets.txt. (as far back as 2.50).
