JManual
Software documentation is an important part of software
development. However, the capacity of many projects (especially of low-budget projects
such as research projects) is limited. In this case, the only
documentation is a printed manual or a single readme file.
The idea of the JManual project is to define an XML-based manual
encoding format. Manuals encoded in this format are then transformed
by XSLT stylesheets to several output formats: HTML, hyperlinked PDF,
and JavaHelp. The latter format can also be integrated as an help
system into Java applications. The TIGERSearch
manual has been developed using the JManual environment.
In the near future you will find a link to the JManual homepage on
this page.

Input methods
As the TIGERSearch software has been implemented in Java, it is able
to process Unicode encoded corpora. If you have installed one of the
supported Unicode fonts, it will also display Unicode characters properly. However,
typing in Unicode characters on a keyboard is a different story.
On most platforms, specialized tools have been implemented for this
purpose. These tools are usually called input methods.
As an alternative to the input methods tools of your platform, we have
developed Java-based input methods for 17 European languages: Czech,
Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek (modern), Greek
(classic), Latin, Hungarian, Italian,
Norwegian, Portugese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. These
input methods have been integrated into the TIGERSearch software suite.
Technically speaking, this project is an implementation of the
Java
Input Method Framework
of Sun Microsystems. If you are interested
in our implementation, you can download the source code. Please feel
free to modify the code and use it in your own applications.
Please note: The software is offered without warranty and the authors are not
liable for damages incurred to any hardware or software through its
application. Use the software at your own risk.
