Free predictive text entry software for linux

Text::vFile::toXML can convert vFiles into equivalent XML.

SYNOPSIS

This module converts iCalendar (iCal : generically, vFile) files into their (equivalent) XML (xCalendar / xCal) representation, according to Royers IETF Draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-royer-calsch-xcal-03).

# Enable functional interface
use Text::vFile::toXML qw(to_xml);

# Input filename
my $arg = "input.file";
my $a = Text::vFile::toXML->new(filename => $arg)->to_xml;
my $b = Text::vFile::toXML->new(filehandle =>
do { open my $fh, $arg or die "cant open ics: $!"; $fh }
)->to_xml;

use Text::vFile::asData; # to make the functional example work
my $data =
Text::vFile::asData->new->parse(
do {
open my $fh, $arg
or die "Cant open vFile: $!"; $fh
}
);
my $c = Text::vFile::toXML->new(data => $data)->to_xml;

# Use functional interface
my $d = to_xml($data);

# Now ($a, $b, $c, $d) all contain the same XML string.

HTML::Widgets::Index is a Perl module for creating web indexes and menus.

This module renders the index of a document tree using the data stored in a MySQL database generated by anxova. It has a flexible set of render options that gives the webmaster many options on the menu item layout.

Table

The tree data must be in a table in a database. The fields of this table should be:

id: int identifies the entry
uri: varchar(150) link of the entry
text: varchar(150) text displayed in the screen
id_parent: int the parent of the current entry. The root is 0
ordern: int menu item position on the menu

Data

Say you have a document tree like this:

a
a1.html
a2.html

b
b1.html
b2
b21.html
b22.html
b3.html

c
c1.html

Then you must enter this in the table :

; First the directory A
INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text)
VALUES (1,0,a,dir A);

; Now the docs of the a dir
INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text)
VALUES (2,1,a1.html,A first);
INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text)
VALUES (3,1,a2.html,A 2nd);
; Now the directory B INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text) VALUES (4,0,b,dir B); INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text) VALUES (5,4,b1.html,B first);

; The directory B has subdirs INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text) VALUES (6,4,b2,B second section);
INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text)
VALUES (7,6,b21.html,B 2 1 doc);

Notice the uri field is relative, not absolute. You dont need to specify all the path to a document. So you can move docs in the directory, then just change the parent in the table.

The items are sorted alphabetically, if you want to change the order displayed in the html, just add the field ordern when you do the insert:

INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text,ordern)
VALUES (5,4,b1.html,B first,2);

INSERT INTO index_items (id,id_parent,uri,text)
VALUES (6,4,b2,B second section,1);

Edit by Text Editors allows you to open a file with Kate, Kwrite, Kedit, Khexedit by a KDE service menu.

To install the service menu you must copy editby.desktop in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

Text::MetaText is a Perl extension implementing meta-language for processing "template" text files.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::MetaText;

my $mt = Text::MetaText->new();

# process file content or text string
print $mt->process_file($filename, %vardefs);
print $mt->process_text($textstring, %vardefs);

# pre-declare a BLOCK for subsequent INCLUDE
$mt->declare($textstring, $blockname);
$mt->declare(@content, $blockname);

SUMMARY OF METATEXT DIRECTIVES

%% DEFINE
variable1 = value # define variable(s)
variable2 = "quoted value"
%%

%% SUBST variable %% # insert variable value
%% variable %% # short form of above

%% BLOCK blockname %% # define a block blockname
block text...
%% ENDBLOCK %%

%% INCLUDE blockname %% # include blockname block text
%% INCLUDE filename %% # include external file filename

%% INCLUDE file_or_block # a more complete example...
variable = value # additional variable definition(s)
if = condition # conditional inclusion
unless = condition # conditional exclusion
format = format_string # printf-like format string with %s
filter = fltname(params) # post-process filter
%%

%% TIME # current system time, as per time(2)
format = format_string # display format, as per strftime(3C)
%%

Soothsayer is an intelligent predictive text entry platform. Soothsayer exploits redundant information embedded in natural languages to generate predictions. Soothsayers modular and pluggable architecture allows its language model to be extended and customized to utilize statistical, syntactic, and semantic information sources.
A predictive text entry system attempts to improve ease and speed of textual input. Word prediction consists in computing which word tokens or word completions are most likely to be entered next. The system analyses the text already entered and combines the information thus extracted with other information sources to calculate a set of most probable tokens.
The set of most probable tokens, a list of suggestions, is displayed to the user. If the token the user intended to enter is in the list, the user selects it and it is automatically entered by the system. If the list of suggestions does not contain the desired word, the user continues entering text until the correct suggestion is offered or until the user is done entering text.
Soothsayer is fundamentally different from predictive input technologies commonly found on mobile phones, which might more accurately be described as disambiguating text entry rather than predictive text entry systems.
Such systems do not try to guess what the user intends to write in the future, only to determine what they most-likely intend to write in the present, given their past input.
Soothsayer, on the other hand, actively predicts the what the user intends to write, and only reverts to word completion mode if the prediction did not contain the desired token.
Soothsayer is free software and its distributed under the term of the General Public License.
Enhancements:
- This release includes the new abbreviation expansion predictive plugin, which allows users to specify a file containing a list of abbreviations/expansions pairs.
- It also includes bugfixes and documentation improvements.

Dasher is a zooming predictive text entry system, designed for situations where keyboard input is impractical (for instance, accessibility or PDAs).

Dasher is usable with highly limited amounts of physical input while still allowing high rates of text entry.

Dasher is Free software released under the GPL. Further documentation may be found in the Doc/ subdirectory.

Text::MessageFormat is a language neutral way to display messages.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::MessageFormat;

my $form = Text::MessageFormat->new(The disk "{1}" contains {0} file(s).);
print $form->format(3, MyDisk);

# output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 3 file(s).

Text::MessageFormat is a Perl version of Javas java.text.MessageFormat and aims to be format-compatible with that class.

MesageFormat provides a means to produce concatenated messages in language-neutral way. Use this to construct messages displayed for end users.
See Data::Properties for java.util.Properties porting.

WARNINGS/TODO

Following FormatElements are all NOT implemented yet. Currently they interpolate exactly same as just {0}.

{0,number,#.##}
{0,date,short}
{0,time,hh:mm:ss}
