This is the first of several blog posts re: formatting for the print dictionary. I am posting this information here to help us remember what we decided, and why!

1) Space-saving abbreviations:

--Replace the following content before printing <note>s:

-Suggested form. with «s.f.»

-Meaning unclear. with «no def.»

-any <note> beginning with "Definition inferred" with «def. inf.»

--For entries with name or loanword features - i.e.

<f name="name"><binary value="true"/></f>

and/or

<f name="loanword"><binary value="true"/></f>

print the following abbreviations immediately after the phonemic transcription

«nm.» for names

«lw.» for loanwords

--Inferred root and stem entries include one of the following editorial <note>s:

Root entry added based on attested complex forms.
Stem entry added based on attested complex forms.

-Suppress these notes, and put an asterisk (not bold) after the <orth> when the inferred entries appear in the main dictionary, root appendix, and morpheme index.

2) Orth the content of <ref>s in <xr>s too.

3) More about entries with multiple forms:

The current handling of entries with multiple <form>s looks great. Please add:

-a space between the orth and the page reference in the secondary entry (DONE, MDH 4Mar14)

-if an entry has multiple <form>s with @type="allomorph", separate these allomorphs with a tilde ~ (surrounded by spaces) in the main and secondary entries - e.g.:

=úlʼəxʷ /úlˀəxʷ/ ~ =lʼəxʷ /lˀəxʷ/

-DO NOT create secondary entries for allomorphs of affixes - that is, for <form>s with @type="allomorph" within the five affix files, pron.xml, and lex-suf.xml
