GOKSYNOPSIS
create-branching-keyboard infile [n-desired-rows]
DESCRIPTION
create-branching-keyboard takes an input data file and
creates a family of branching keyboard XML files in the for-
mat that GOK expects. Given an input file named test.data,create-branching-keyboard creates test.data.kbd, which in
turn refers to a family of *.kbd files that are created based on data in the input file. OPERANDS The following operands are supported: infile The name of the input file.n-desired-rows If specified, create-branching-keyboard
attempts to create keyboards with the speci-
fied number of rows. The recommended values are between 2 and 6.EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
create-branching-keyboard can be used to create families of
branching keyboards from UTF-8 input files. The format of
the input files is as follows:+o Lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
+o The rest of the input file consists of consecutive pairs of lines. The first line of a pair is typicallyignored, but should serve as a UTF-8 label describing
the "primary key" in the next line. The second line ofthe pair consists of a single UTF-8 character followed
by a ':' color delimiter, and a string of UTF-8 charac-
ters to which the initial character may branch. The resulting XML file, after processing, defines .kbd files such that each prefix 'primary key' forms a key on the GOKkeyboard whose label is the "primary key" UTF-8 character,
and which branches to a keyboard consisting of the followingUTF-8 characters, one per key.
create-branching-keyboard is particularly useful in creating
branching keyboards for ideographic languages. For instance,the primary key for a given line may consist of the UTF-8
