Editing Editing glosses

== Alignment ==
According to the [[Glossing Rules#Alignment|Glossing Rules]], glossed passages (of more than just a few words) are supposed to be '''left-aligned word by word'''.

We recommend the following robust way to edit this alignment:

=== Hidden tables ===
Create a ‘hidden table’:
* Create a '''table with 3 rows''' (1.&nbsp;original transliteration/transcription [optional]; 2.&nbsp;glossing transcription; 3. &nbsp;glosses) and approximately 10 columns.

{| style="width:100%; border:1px black" rules="all"
|- 
| style="width:10%; border:1px solid black" | Original transliteration || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="width:10%; border:1px solid black" | Glossing transcription || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="width:10%; border:1px solid black" | Glosses || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; 
|}


* Set table '''width to ''automatic'''''.

{| rules="all" style="border:1px black"
|- 
| style="border:1px solid black" | Original transliteration || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px solid black" | Glossing transcription || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px solid black" | Glosses || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px solid black" | &nbsp; 
|}


* Set table border (color) to '''''no border (color)'''''. Enable '''''display of hidden borders'''''.

{| rules="all" style="border:1px dashed grey"
|- 
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | Original transliteration || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | Glossing transcription || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | Glosses || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|}


* Create a separate '''translation line below outside the table''' (‘xxx.’).

{| rules="all" style="border:1px dashed grey"
|- 
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | Original transliteration || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | Glossing transcription || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | Glosses || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|}
‘xxx.’

Use '''this as a template''', i.e. make a safe model copy to be used as a start for any glossing line.


* Then start entering data.

{| rules="all" style="border:1px dashed grey" 
|- 
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | ''m=[ṯn]'' || style="border:1px dashed grey" | ''⌈wj⌉'' || style="border:1px dashed grey" | ''&lt;r&gt;ḫ{r}.k(w)'' || style="border:1px dashed grey" | ''s.t={t}<ṯ>n'' || style="border:1px dashed grey" | ''ḫnt(ï).t'' || style="border:1px dashed grey" | ''dwꜢ.t'' || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | m-ṯn || style="border:1px dashed grey" | =wj || style="border:1px dashed grey" | rḫ-kw || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|-
| style="border:1px dashed grey" | ATTN-2PL || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; || style="border:1px dashed grey" | &nbsp; 
|}
‘xxx.’


* The print out will look like this:

{| style="border:0" 
|- 
| ''m=[ṯn]'' || ''⌈wj⌉'' || ''&lt;r&gt;ḫ{r}.k(w)'' || ''s.t={t}<ṯ>n'' || ''ḫnt(ï).t'' || ''dwꜢ.t''  ||  ||  ||  || 
|-
| m-ṯn || =wj || rḫ-kw   || st-ṯn || ḫnt-ï-t || dwꜢt  ||  ||  ||  || 
|-
| ATTN-2PL  || =1SG || get_to_know^RES-1SG.RES || seat:F[SG]-2PL || in_front-ADJZ-F || netherworld:F[SG]  ||  ||  ||  || 
|}
‘I know your place in the underworld.’
