# This is the configuration file for Lojban database files.

# This file specifies the format of an associated flashcard file.

# A flashcard file consists of a number of flashcards, one to a line. 
# Each flashcard contains four fields: a word or phrase of one language,
# extra information (e.g. part of speech), the corresponding word or
# phrase in the other language, and extra information for the other
# language.  Each field contains a main part and a subsidiary part.  The
# main part consists of a set of values.  Each value consists of a set of
# alternatives.

# For an explanation of the meaning of all this structure, see the manual.
# This configuration file specifies how the different components of each
# field are separated from each other.

# Lines in this file beginning with a '#' are comments.

# Every other non-blank line contains a keyword followed by a value.
# The value may be of several different kinds, depending on the keyword.
# Here is a list of the recognised keywords and their meanings.  Some of
# these may seem rather ad-hoc, in particular, the skipdigits, skiplines,
# and widths keywords.  This is because they are mainly intended to allow
# the program to be used with certain database files which were developed
# by different people independently, and which have their own quirks.

# In the descriptions below, upper-cased words indicate what sort of
# argument is expected.  CHAR means a single character enclosed in single
# quotes.  STRING means a string, enclosed in double quotes.  INTEGER means
# an integer.  INTEGERS means a list of integers separated by commas.


# field1 STRING	The name of the first language main text.

# field2 STRING	The name of the first language subsidiary text.

# field3 STRING	The name of the second language main text.

# field4 STRING	The name of the second language subsidiary text.

# case1			This takes no argument, and specifies that in field 1,
#				upper and lower case should be considered distinct.
# nocase1		Specifies that in field 1, upper and lower case are not
#				distinguished (the default).
# case3			As case1, for field 3.
# nocase3		As nocase1, for field 3 (the default).

# escape CHAR	When this character occurs in the flashcard file, the
# 				following character is taken literally, if it would otherwise
# 				have a special significance.  In addition, if followed by 't',
# 				it indicates a tab, 'n' indicates newline, 'r' carriage return,
# 				'p' page throw, and 'nnn' (where nnn is an octal number) the
# 				character whose code is nnn.  In the last case, 'nnn' must be
# 				expressed as exactly three digits.

# field CHAR	This character is used to separate the fields.  (Not used
# 				if the fields are fixed-width.)

# fvalue CHAR	This character separates the different values that may be
# 				in a single field.

# falternative CHAR		This character separates equivalent alternative values.

# subfield CHAR	This character separates the main text of a field from
# 				the auxiliary text.

# svalue CHAR	This character is used on the screen, to separate the
# 				different values in a single field.

# salternative CHAR	This character is used on the screen, to separate the
# 					different alternatives in a single value.

# comment CHAR	This character at the beginning of a line in the flashcard
# 				file causes that line to be ignored.

# ignore STRING	When comparing the user's answer with the flashcard field,
# 				all characters in this string will be ignored.  By default,
# 				this string is "À\000,.;:[]{}()!?".


# The following keywords exist only to handle the quirks of certain
# databases developed independently by other people, and should probably be
# ignored by other users of the program.

# translate CHAR CHAR	Every non-escaped occurrence of the first character
# 						will be replaced by the second.
# 						There may be several lines in the config file with
# 						this keyword.

# skipdigits (no argument)	Any digits at the beginning of a line in the
# 							flashcard file will be ignored.

# skiplines INTEGER	This many lines from the beginning of the flashcard
# 					file will be ignored.

# widths INTEGERS	The fields are fixed-width, and begin in the specified
# 					columns (counting from zero).  Six integers n1...n6
# 					must be present; all text at or after column n6 in
# 					each line of the flashcard file is ignored.
# 					When this keyword is given, the keywords
# 					field, fvalue, falternative, subfield, svalue,
# 					and salternative have no effect.  Every field has one
# 					value, containing one alternative, and only the third
# 					field has subsidiary text.  The six integers thus
# 					delimit five components of each flashcard: language 1,
# 					auxiliary info for language 1, language 2 main text,
# 					language 2 subsidiary text, and auxiliary info for
# 					language 2.
