The Context View

The Context View shows a context for every occurrence of the headword currently highlighted in the Wordlist View.  The Context View has four display options:
  • Contexts centred on headwords
  • Contexts left-aligned
  • Index display (references with no contexts)
  • No display

    Use the Context Tabs down the right-hand edge to switch amongst these four.

    Clicking on a context line will open the Viewer or Editor positioned to show that line in the full source text, so allowing you to browse as far as you like beyond the word's immediate context.

    The source-text Viewer and Editor are concordance-aware. Double-clicking on any word in them will re-position the Wordlist View to display that headword.

    Clicking on the Context Header in the Context View is a quick way to choose a different sort order for contexts. You can re-size and re-arrange columns and fit them to their contents.

    The Context Views will not scroll to show columns containing more than 255 characters, although any further text is still there and will be correctly preserved when you save, print, or export the concordance.  This is one reason why you should make sure the lines in your file are of human-readable length. See Input text file format.
