Selecting elements to include

Before you do any of the following operations, you can choose which elements of your concordance you want to include:
  • print your concordance 
  • save it as a text file
  • save it as a HTML file 
  • build a Web Concordance

    Concordance works on the general principle that if you have chosen to display something on screen, it will be included when you do any of the above. So if you want to omit an element, remove it from the display first.

    Words

    To select words, choose Select Words on the Headwords menu.  Words which do not match a selection will be removed from the Wordlist and will not be included in the printed or exported concordance.

    Contexts

    Choose whether you want context lines to be left-aligned or centred on the headword. The view you choose will be used in the printed or exported concordance.

    If you want a wordlist on its own without any contexts, turn off the display of contexts by choosing None on the Contexts menu or clicking the None tab at the right-hand edge. If you want an index, click the Index tab.

    Other elements

    You can choose whether or not to include:
  • Frequencies
  • Percentages
  • Line numbers
  • References
  • Reference Categories.  

    Those elements which are displayed on the screen will be included.   

    If you make a Web Concordance, there has to be a reference on which to create an HTML link from the concordance frame to the original text. If you have created references of your own, they will be used for the text of the link. If you haven't, line numbers will be used, and so displayed in the Web Concordance, even if you have turned off the display of line numbers in the Context Views.

    You can display word frequencies and/or percentages in the Wordlist Frame in a Web Concordance. (They will also appear in the Concordance Frame.) This more closely resembles the display in the program itself.  Note that frequencies and percentages must also be visible (displayed) in the Wordlist if they are to appear at all in the Web Concordance. See HTML Setup.


    Fonts

    The fonts and colours which you have set in the Wordlist View and the Context View will be used where the output device supports them.
