The current source is also available as a Git repository.
ILF (the InterLinear Formatter) is a simple Python script that formats interlinear texts (ILs) into HTML files. These tables can then be pasted into a Web page. The script also has an option to output MediaWiki-formatted tables.
ILF is a very simple program. It currently has very little error-checking capability. The program expects the IL to be in a specific format. Each line should begin with a marker. These markers are:
All of these markers (except for \i, which is my own addition), are used by SIL Toolbox (Windows-only). All of the markers except \t are optional, and any line without a marker will be considered the same as \f.
ILF does not break long lines itself. If the lines are too long, then the generated table will be too wide for the screen. I'm working on this.
The older version of this script simply added the output to the main script page. The new Python version actually has options! The command to run ILF is as follows:python ilf.py [-i|--input] input_file [-o|--output] output_file [-w|--wiki]
Non-Windows users can also run the script directly, using "./ilf.py". The options are as follows:
If you want to add styles to the ILs, the simplest way is to define CSS style rules for each row. Each row is defined as a separate class, "il_t" for \t lines, "il_m" for \m, etc. The IL as a whole can be referenced as "#interlinear". As of version 0.2, a basic CSS file is included.
