وحدة:Interlinear

This is the module for Template:Interlinear and Template:gcl. The function invoked by the first one is p.interlinearise and the one invoked by the latter is p.gcl. See those templates' documentation for usage instructions.

Most of the glossing abbreviations are loaded from the data subpage.

-- The main purpose of the bletcherous parse() is to split a line into words and and then for each eligible word

-- The simple job of splitting at whitespaces has been made complicated by a) the fact that the input can contain
-- whitespaces inside the various html elements that are the result of the application of various formatting templates;
-- and b) the need to be able to recognise the output of the template that formats custom gloss abbreviations
-- (and hence skip passing it on to find_gloss). See talk for a suggestion about its future.
