Printable version of dialect comparison #9

If you want to compare features of dialects and use this for a publication, it would be easier if there is a user-friendly printable version that also lists the entries per dialect for features in a column. Now if you copy the text from the website directly, they end up like this for Koy Sanjaq and Arbel for example:

4.1. Independent personal pronouns

4.1.1. 3ms. ʾo
ʾo
4.1.2. 3fs. ʾo
ʾo
4.1.3. 3pl. ʾoni
ʾoni
4.1.4. 2ms. ʾāt ~ ʾati
ʾat ~ ʾati
4.1.5. 2fs. ʾāt ~ ʾati
ʾat
4.1.6. 2pl. ʾatxun ~ ʾaxnəxun
ʾatxun
4.1.7. 1s. ʾana
ʾana

Best,

Paul

Maybe this could even just export a plain text file that can be copied/pasted, or printed.

jamespstrachan commented 5 years ago

This looks to me like a different report is needed - perhaps like Cody suggests a separate, more structured download. It's not going to be easy to have a single webpage both be nice and interactive and give you something that copy&pastes well, but it would be pretty straightforward to add an export-all button that dumps a csv of structured data.

To discuss and pin down a spec.

Add hidden comma at end of each 'cell' that is copy-paste-able

Paul32N commented 4 years ago

Is this hidden comma still there?

jamespstrachan commented 4 years ago

This ticket was still open, so the work had yet to be done. I have put the suggested hidden comma in place as a delimiter you only see when you copy and paste the grammar table, eg:

https://nena-staging.strachan.jp/dialects/51,52/grammar/5.1.

5.1. Basic present copula 
5.1.1. 3ms. , -ile , -ile
5.1.2. 3fs. , -ila , -ila
...

It's now available to test on the staging site.
