Paratext TNDD Views release

This additional tool for Paratext is designed to help content creators and checkers to VIEW (but not edit) the TNDD Paratext Project data in different ways. There are 5 views as explained below:

Views

  • TNDD-table view -- This displays up to four columns. The source language in the left most column, then the first meaning from the \ml1, then the second meaning and finally the third meaning.
  • TNDD-1st-mng-line -- This displays the 1st meaning line preceded by the verse reference. Each verse starts on a new line.
  • TNDD-2nd-mng-line -- This displays the 2nd meaning line and is similar to the 1st line, but if there no data for a second meaning (\ml1) line the then that data from the 1st meaning is displayed in (( )) with text in a red-brown color.
  • TNDD-3rd-mng-line -- This displays the 3rd meaning line and is similar to the 1st and 2nd line, but if there no data for a third meaning (\ml1) line the then that data is displayed in (( with a brown color if it comes from the 2nd meaning and a red-brown if it come from he 1st first line.
  • TNDD-tag-errors -- This aids content creators to see that there is a markup error that PT does not catch. This view may still have some false labeling.
  • TNDD-word-count-1st-mng-line - This counts words per sentence. It marks sentence counts of more than 17 in orange and more than 30 words in tomato-red. Now includes chapter:verse and verse segment to ease comparison.
  • TNDD-word-count-2nd-mng-line - This counts words per sentence. It marks sentence counts of more than 17 in orange and more than 30 words in tomato-red. If there is no 2nd meaning line then the 1st meaning line is included. Now includes chapter:verse and verse segment to ease comparison.

How to Install these Views for Paratext

Option 1: Use the Paratext-TNDD-Views-installer.exe

  • Download Paratext-TNDD-Views-installer.exe from the Assets section of the latest release
  • Close Paratext if open.
  • Run the installer and follow the usual steps to Install the Paratext Views. Your antivirus may tell you this program is rarely downloaded. That is true, but you can ignore the warning. (Previous versions were not signed. This version is signed.)
  • Start Paratext and the new views should be available in the Ctrl+E menu or the projects hamburger menu.

Option 2: Run a script to install

  • Download TNDD-Views.zip from the Assets section of the latest release
  • Close Paratext if open.
  • Select the option "Show in folder", and then in your Downloads folder, right click on the Views.zip file
  • Then select your preferred UNZIP tool to Extract all... (preferably to a new folder called Views). (if given the option, ensure that "Show extracted files when complete" is checked).
  • Double click on the install_Paratext_TNDD_Views.cmd
    • If all went well the black box dissappears. If not it will stay and give failure info
  • Start Paratext and the new views should be available in the Ctrl+E menu or the projects hamburger menu.

Using the TNDD Views within Paratext

  • If the installation was successful, the new views should be available as shown below: via the Ctrl+E popup menu: views list control e or via the project's View menu: views-list-proj-view

  • Note that you cannot edit the text in any of these VIEWS - it is purely an aid for reading and checking the text (one meaning line at a time) without the clutter of markers.

  • If you are using Paratext 9, then it is highly recommended to open an additional TNDD window as an Autohide window: PT-auto-hide-setup

  • This will enable you to keep your normal workspace uncluttered, but the Table view will be easy to access from the right-hand column: PT-show-view
