<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on converting a couple of dictionary projects from Word and PDF to TLex databases. I’m running into one big problem, which is that the dictionaries in question have in-text cross-references. One of them also has cross-references
to equivalent lemmas at the start of the entry, in addition to the cross-references in text. I’ll give an example from Richard Allsopp’s
<i>Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage</i>, which inspired one of these projects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="ES">(h)a·ma·di·li</span></b><b><span lang="ES">
</span></b><i><span lang="ES">n </span></i><span lang="ES">(Belz) [<i>X</i>]</span><span lang="ES" style="background:white"> <b><i>ARMADILLO</i></b> (Guyn) [Prosthetic /h/ + AMADILI, folk pronunc of ARMADILLO]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES" style="background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white">In this case, the cross-reference comes in the etymology, while in other cases it appears in the definition or some other note. Is there any way that people have found to embed the cross-references automatically?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white">Also, is it possible to get two different tildes? One of my dictionaries has a tilde used for the headword, and a separate tilde for the pronunciation. Is there any way to have a separate function? Alternatively,
is there a way to show a tilde character that is typed in that never gets expanded, unlike another tilde that may get expanded?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
