Web concordancing

As well as letting you make concordances for viewing and manipulating on your own computer, Concordance enables you to turn any concordance you have made into a series of files ready to publish on the web. Such a concordance is called a Web Concordance. The original Web Concordances were made to demonstrate this ability (as well as for teaching purposes) and can be seen at this link.
