TODO:

• test with example5.tex
• make tex parser cleaner and think more about structure of entries and levels
  • what about root of a word?
  • conlang lexicon
  • word net schemas
  • dict.cc word lists
  • moby (thesaurus
  • english-hebrew lexicon
• how should the output of texdict.py -o tex be used?

\documenttype{standalone}
%\usepackage{texdict}
\begin{document}
\input{output-from-textdict.tex}
\end{document}

• if dict package, how can I keep texdict.py and texdict.sty in sync?

  • textdict.py needs to be part of textdict.sty package

• refactor code acording to 12factor app

  • https://12factor.net/de/

• what about that every entry should only appear once?

• if input and output are the same, should it be converted to json trotzdem?

  • maybe not and add a --test flag for testing the syntax correctness

• logo could be

\documentclass{standalone}
\begin{document}
$\tau$e$\chi$\textit{dict}\texttt{.py}
\end{document}

• are there similar programs? json dictionary/lexicon data formats?
  • are there better latex packages (than glossaries) to build on?

• test:

  • $(./texdict.py example2.json -o tex`)

• dann auch testen:

  • $(./texdict.py example2.tex )

• change such that two entries can be converted

• json:

{[entry1,e2,e3]}
{entries : [entry1, entry2, entry3]}

• tex

\entry{1}
\entry{2}
\entry{3}

\documentclass{standalone} \begin{document} $\tau$e$\Xi$\textit{dict}\texttt{.py} \end{document}

• notes:
  • type could also include gender/genus?
  • where should I put info like 'go, went, gone' or plural forms for some words?
    • grammar: with additional usage info?
  • root could be included in etymology oder origin?

  • statt description = meaning?
  • what about see alsos and confere (cf.)
  • what about aussprache?
