💖 LT-EXPAND(1) — the dictionary expander bestie 💖

General Commands Manual ✨ (lt-expand is the star of this page, iykyk)

✨ NAME ✨

lt-expand — dictionary expander for Apertium 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lt-expand [-a | -v | -l | -r | -m | -h] dictionary_file [output_file]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so listen, lt-expand is literally the app in charge of expanding a dictionary into a simple list of input string → output string pairs. How? By eliminating paradigms through substitution and unfolding. It's giving ✨glow up✨ for your lexicon, no cap. 🎀

Where does the output go? Bestie, that depends:

• If output_file is there → the output goes to output_file 🫶
• If output_file is missing → the output goes to standard output 📤

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a, --alt — sets the value of the alt attribute to use in expansion. 💫
• -v, --var — sets the value of the v attribute to use in expansion of monodixes. 🌸
• -l, --var-left — sets the value of the vl attribute to use in expansion of bidixes. 🦋
• -r, --var-right — sets the value of the vr attribute to use in expansion of bidixes. 🦋
• -m, --keep-boundaries — keeps any morpheme boundaries defined by the <m/> symbol. 🔥 (iconic behaviour honestly)
• -h, --help — prints a short help message. 👑

🧚 FILES 🧚

• dictionary_file — the input dictionary to expand. This is the main character 📚✨
• output_file — text containing the expanded dictionary information. 🍓
