What format lexicon data can Lexique Pro display?
Lexique Pro can read two formats of lexicon database file: Text file with recognised standard format markers, or XML file in LIFT (Lexicon Interchange FormaT). Standard format markers are for example: \lx abada \ps adv \ge never \gn jamais \lx jakuma \ps n \ge cat \gn chat Different markers are used to indicate part of speech, definition, lexical function, synonym, variant forms, examples, morphology, subentries, cross references, etc. This is the type of data file generated by the following two programs: Toolbox – see The Field Linguist’s Toolbox Shoebox – see The Linguist’s Shoebox By default, Lexique Pro assumes that you are using field markers according to the Multi-Dictionary Formatter (MDF) standards. For more information about MDF, see Multi-Dictionary Formatter, where the document Making Dictionaries (PDF) can be downloaded. If the markers you have chosen to use are not the same as in MDF, you will need to change the settings on the Field Markers page of the Configure Lexicon W
