Movement Lines and Subscripts:

To show movement, mark the head of the movement with an underscore followed by a tag after the category label. Mark the tail with the same tag between angled brackets. The head constituent can not be an ancestor of the tail. Tags can only consist of letters and numbers. Tags that consist of only numbers will appear in subscript after the category label.

Options

Font options

This app uses browser default fonts, so if you're not happy with the fonts that show up, try switching to a different browser.

Color

  • On: Terminals appear in green. Non-terminals appear in blue. Lines, triangles, and movement lines appear in black.
  • Off: Everything appears in black.

Terminal lines

  • On: terminal nodes will be treated exactly the same as non-terminals with respect to placement and line drawing, except that triangles will be added if indicated.
  • Off: terminal nodes will be placed on a new line after their parents, and no lines or triangles will be drawn between them.
  • This option only affects terminal nodes that have no siblings. Otherwise, it would look silly.

Link

Use this button to obtain the address of the current tree. A small window should pop up with the address already selected. Just copy it and paste it where you want. Some suggestions:

  • Make a bookmark in your browser.
  • Send the link to colleagues or students via e-mail.

You can also make a link just by appending a labelled bracket string after the address of the app:

[mshang.github.com/syntree/?[S Testing]](http://mshang.github.com/syntree/?[S Testing])

The question mark after "/syntree/" is essential. Note that while this address will work when you paste it into your browser's address bar, it may not work when you try to send it by pasting it into an e-mail or Facebook. Hopefully, the address you get from the "Link" button does work in those situations.
