kmflcomp(1) General Commands Manual kmflcomp(1)NAME
kmflcomp - keyboard mapping for linux compiler
SYNOPSIS
kmflcomp -v
kmflcomp [-d] [-f] [-V] keyboardfile
kmflcomp -h
DESCRIPTION
KMFL is a keyboard input method project which brings Tavultesoft Keyman functionality to *nix operating systems.
kmflcomp is the keyboard compiler and syntax checker for the kmfl project. The files created by kmflcomp can be loaded by the kmfl
libraries to provide input methods to clients.
Note that the kmfl libraries now have the capability to compile kmfl keyboards on the fly so kmflcomp is no longer strictly necessary. The
most useful part of kmflcomp is its kmfl keyboard syntax checking.
OPTIONS -d Output debugging information
-f Force compilation even if there are errors found in the keyboard file
-h Print this help message
-V Be more verbose in kmfcomp's information messages
-v Print program version
SEE ALSO
The full documentation for kmflcomp can be found on the kmfl website (kmfl.sourceforge.net). This includes documentation for the kmfl lan-
guage syntax, useful for creating new keyboards, or modifying existing keyboards.
AUTHORS
KMFL was developed jointly by SIL international(www.sil.org) and Tavultesoft(www.tavultesoft.com). The primary authors are John Durdin and
Doug Rintoul.

create-branching-keyboard - create branching keyboards for GOK
SYNOPSIS
create-branching-keyboard [--usage] infile [n-desired-rows]
DESCRIPTION
create-branching-keyboard takes an input data file and creates a family of branching keyboard XML files in the format that GOK expects.
Given an input file named test.data, create-branching-keyboard creates test.data.kbd, which in turn refers to a family of *.kbd files that
are created based on data in the input file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--usage Display usage information.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
infile The name of the input file.
n-desired-rows If specified, create-branching-keyboard attempts to create keyboards with the specified number of rows. The recommended
values are between 2 and 6.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
create-branching-keyboard can be used to create families of branching keyboards from UTF-8 input files. The format of the input files is as
follows:
o Lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
o The rest of the input file consists of consecutive pairs of lines. The first line of a pair is typically ignored, but should serve as
a UTF-8 label describing the "primary key" in the next line. The second line of the pair consists of a single UTF-8 character followed
by a ':' color delimiter, and a string of UTF-8 characters to which the initial character may branch.
The resulting XML file, after processing, defines .kbd files such that each prefix 'primary key' forms a key on the GOK keyboard whose
label is the "primary key" UTF-8 character, and which branches to a keyboard consisting of the following UTF-8 characters, one per key.
create-branching-keyboard is particularly useful in creating branching keyboards for ideographic languages. For instance, the primary key
for a given line may consist of the UTF-8 character for a 'radical' such as hng.
