Twext
twext is twin text to help you to learn and teach language..
"twext" and "twexter" are trademarks of READ.FM
twexter
twexter is software that twexts text.. twexter helps you do three things:
chunk
break text into word groups or "chunks"
translate
translate the chunks
format
style the chunk translation as twext
test
esto es una prueba de twext this is a test of twext queremos saber si este texto we want to know if this text se ve como el imagen debajo looks like the image below
above might look like below:
if not, no big deal.. but it may show text twexting predictably in fixed font monospace typeset like andale mono:
this makes it easier to input and edit twext:
space chunking
space chunk means you can define chunks with spaces, so twext translation is lots easier to edit.. we're starting to test space chunking here:
test in any language or dialect
xcroll
xcroll still controls 2+ windows with one scrollbar.. xcroll makes it easy to input lines of space chunked twext.. but space chunking does not really require xcroll:
type twext
space chunking means you can just type twext:

simple.. just add a space where you want to chunk, and add corollary space in the translation line.. twexter now reads such input and saves:

so you can now edit twext in a single text file:
F2
and F2 toggle to xcroll (twin inputs)
- explicit chunks (vertical array, to autotranslate and proof)
- space chunk (text/twext side to side, for real fast input)
then back to just type twext in single input.. test
direct edit
soon you will be able to edit twext more directly
wixi
when twexter is really easier to use, then we can wixi (make twext work with wiki software)
