Markdown

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Introduction

lingdocs uses a custom markdown format. Access to entities in the database (examples, morphemes, languages...) is done in the format [abbr](id), where abbr represents the kind of entity, and id the ID of the entity. So if you have an example with the ID narr-23, you can include it in the text with the command [ex](narr-23).

Models

Citing and references

Citing sources is done by the commands [src](bibkey[pages]) and [psrc](bibkey[pages]). bibkey is the identifier of the source (for example, a bibkey in a .bib file). [pages] is optional. For example, [src](meier2009example[229-231]) yields Meier (2009: 229-231), and [psrc](meier2009example[229-231]) (Meier 2009: 229-231).

Interlinear examples

While lingdocs takes care of the formatting of examples, there are some parameters you might want to modify. The following table shows the basic layout; [] mark optional content.

(exno)	[LANGUAGE/TITLE [SOURCE]]
	[PRIMARY TEXT]
	OBJECT LINE
	GLOSS LINE
	'TRANSLATION' [COMMENT] [SOURCE]

Tables

Every table has an ID; they can be inserted with the directive [table](id).
