Re: [Wikisource-l] Back to the Scroll

[Alex Brollo]

Thanks!

I just tried to build a template like this:

[[File:Library-logo-blue-outline.png|30px|link=
http://toolserver.org/~magnus/book2scroll/index.html
?lang=it&file={{urlencode:{{PAGENAME]], to be used into Index: pages.

But urlencode converts spaces into +, where your script doesn't like the
output of urlencode... it only likes names where spaces are replaced by
underscores.

How can I obtain this transformation by a parser function/by a template? Or:
can you modify the scripts, so that url encoded titles are accepted too?

I apologyze, if my question is banal.

Not at all, though
http://toolserver.org/~magnus/book2scroll/index.html?lang=it&file=De%27+matematici+italiani+anteriori+all%27invenzione+della+stampa.djvu
seems to work fine. You can also try {{PAGENAMEE}} (note the two E).

Note that sometimes, the Index: name is not the same at the actual
.djvu file, so you should allow attribute {{{1}}} to be the filename
(PAGENAME by default), and maybe the start page as {{{2}}}, default
"1". That would also allow for the template to be used anywhere, not
just on the index page.

Cheers,
Magnus

My question was definitely banal. With  {{PAGENAMEE}} the template
http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:BackToScroll runs perfectly: see
http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Indice:Rime_%28Vittorelli%29.djvu .
Thanks Magnus (even if some of our it.source users poined my mistake, I
appreciated a lot your attention and suggestions!)

This is a wonderful feature I didn't know about until now.
But it was not what I'm looking for. In computational
linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), a "text
aligner" is a piece of software that identifies which words
and phrases correspond to which in a translation. The
input is a translated text and the output is a dictionary.
It's like a more advanced "diff" tool.
