Grammar Engineering Frequently Asked Questions
How can I input strings from non-ascii character sets?
The LKB is unicode enabled, but the parse input dialogue box does not allow non-ascii input. That leaves two options:
- Batch parsing. test.items and other files used as input to the batch parser can be in unicode.
- Interacting with the LKB through the tty interface in emacs:
- Go to the *common-lisp* buffer.
- Make sure you’re in the LKB package, by typing :pa lkb at the lisp prompt.
- Then type: (do-parse-tty ”[your string, in any character set]”).
For more on input methods for non-ascii character sets in emacs, see the emacs documentation on MULE.
