Working on a more sophisticated English wordlist view
Posted by mholmes on 25 Oct 2010 in Activity log
I've started work on a more sophisticated way of generating the English wordlist, which would show a single headword for each distinct gloss, followed by an embedded list of each of the entries which contain that gloss, and their brief definitions. My first shot at generating the XML for this is taking forever on my local machine -- it's a bit recursive, and there are thousands of entries -- so I think I'll need to reconsider. The first thing to do is to add range indexes for all the key tags; I should have done that originally. Once that's done, I can time the production of the full list, and perhaps break it down by letters of the alphabet so that it's only trying to render one letter at a time. This might take a while to do, indeed.
