This document contains the most important parts of the GF Resource Grammar API,
|
||||
as needed by a GF application programmer.
|
||||
It has been machine-generated from the source files; there are links
|
||||
to the relevant source files, which give more information. Some of the files have
|
||||
not yet been prepared so that the machine generated documentation has the nicest
|
||||
possible format.
|
||||
|
||||
The main contents are:
|
||||
- [Chapter 1 #toc2]: categories, with links to the functions for
|
||||
constructing trees in them.
|
||||
- [Chapter 2 #toc5]: syntactic construction functions, with cross-links and
|
||||
examples.
|
||||
- [Chapter 3 #toc85]: morphological paradigms.
|
||||
- [Chapter 4 #toc120]: additional libraries.
|
||||
- [Chapter 5 #toc126]: how to "browse" the library by
|
||||
loading the grammars into the ``gf`` command editor.
|
||||
- [Chapter 6 #toc127]: a brief example of how application grammars can
|
||||
use the resource modules.
|
||||
- [Detailed table of contents #toc128].
|
||||

- [RGL Documentation and Publications ./rgl-publications.html]: links to publications and other documentation
|
||||
- [More modules gfdoc/sources.html]: extra modules, dictionaries, and

||||
the internals of the resource grammar
|
||||
- [Internal abstract syntax ./absfuns.html]: synopsis of internal
|
||||
abstract functions and their Universal Dependency labels
|
||||
- [RGL Source Browser ./browse]: look up functions and their source code
|
||||
- [Minibar http://cloud.grammaticalframework.org/minibar/minibar.html]:
|
