Usage

! (Mboronhe)0
* se’e kosa hora, se’e ko karemba
  {NEG} need tree, {NEG} me good
> "I need no trees, they disappoint me"

Lines starting with !  will not be split, they may be used as a description, these lines must come before the glossing.

Glossing lines will be split by each space character, and may start with *  to make it italic. To preserve space characters you can use __ or enclose text between parentheses, for example to__be or not to__be or (to be) or not (to be).

A line starting with >  stops the glossing, and following text will be a paragraph, it can be used to provide a translation or additional notes.

You can start another glossing by separating them with a line containing two or more hyphens --.

The first line of the glossing may start with #  to make a heading.

The first line can start with a number enclosed in parentheses like (1)  to make a numbered gloss, the numbering is automatic and the number in parentheses is ignored (they can all be 1). The line acts the same way as an exclamation point marked line.

Colors and Annotations

Text between parentheses may be colored, assign a color writting a number from 0 to 9 after the parentheses, eg: The (cat)1 (meows)2.

Color list:
Color0 Color1 Color2 Color3 Color4 Color5 Color6 Color7 Color8 Color9

To write regular parenthesis you need double parenthesis ((Example)).

Use capital letters between curly brackets to make a glossing abbreviation, you can hover your mouse over them to see their meaning. There is a big list of builtin abbreviations, but you can make your own like the following: {DEL:Delative}.

The special character ∅ can be shown with &null;
