Treedown Utility #2

Open jonathanrobie opened 7 years ago

jonathanrobie commented 7 years ago

We need a Treedown utility that can convert Treedown to at least the following formats:

It needs to be cross-platform, and a command-line tool is probably adequate. I currently expect to use textX to implement it - are there better choices?

The treedown utility - or another utility in the same suite - should be able to combine Treedown with morphological information produced by a morphological parser. Eventually, we should also have a phrase parser to give finer granularity.

For the Greek New Testament, we can extract phrases and morphology from existing treebanks. When we get beyond the Greek New Testament, a morphological parser is important. I think we should start by proving the concept using texts from the Greek New Testament and put the phrase parser and morphology tools on the road map for later.
