Word List Export Improvement #40

Open Steve-Miller opened 8 years ago

Steve-Miller commented 8 years ago

The current word list export is currently in tab delimited form. I suspect this is intended for import into other software. However, I may well need to include the word list in a document relatively soon. The current format is not really useful for that purpose. It'd be much better to turn the list 90 degrees. For instance:

Variety 1 Variety 2 Variety 3
meaning 1 word 1-1 word 1-2 word 1-3
meaning 2 word 2-1 word 2-2 word 3-3
meaning 3 (etc.)
meaning 4
meaning 5
meaning 6

You can import the tab delimited file into Excel or LibreOffice Calc and then manipulate it however you want.

Well...yes. If you have the time and patience. I'm looking for ways to cut down time-consuming activities.
