but I'm so grateful to Sri Ajit Krishnan for the dictionary files (that I just discovered yesterday) that I felt obliged to do my best to help here. :-)

My basic idea for the alignment problem (which I presume is the actual hard part here), inspired by the \phantom command in TeX / LaTeX, is to put the entire verse line in every row, but hide the parts other than the one we want visible (with "color: transparent"). This automatically ensures that each row (from the same verse line) starts just where the previous ends.

This is a hack of course, and someone who knows CSS well may be able to come up with a better solution or simpler code. (Note also the "वेदा म्नायौ" broken up on the last line. I believe this can be fixed -- just have to make those two divs stick together closely.)

Regards,

Shreevatsa

Is it a sample page?

aatmiiya,

I'd been thinking from the problem from a text markup point of view. I now realize that I should be approaching it from a data set point of view instead (especially since I may be able to reuse some of the existing amarakosha data that is available). The code you provided is perfect to get me started. I'll play around and reply back in a few days with a straw man proposal so that I can get your feedback.

I like the "phantom" approach ... such a simple solution that I didn't consider. Thank you.

aatmiiya,

The pdf titled "colebrooke_format.pdf" is something I hand typeset to showcase what I was looking for. I can send a few pages from the actual "amarasAra" publication, if you are interested.

namaste,

So, it might have taken more than a few days (ha!), but I finally got around to this. After thinking about it, I start with data entries in the simple readable format below. I parse this into an object model and then generate some html. I've attached sample output (printed directly from generated html). Feedback is welcome. Vishvas, can you point me to the latest version of the source amara kosha data files that you are using? Hopefully, I can auto-generate the majority of the content and only end up having to do some proof-reading and minor formatting by hand.

[श्रुतिः] स्त्री [वेद] [आम्नाय][स्त्रयी] + [धर्मस्तु] तद्विधिः

श्रुतिः {f}, वेदः {m}, आम्नायः {m}, त्रयी {f} + धर्मः {m}

Vedas + Duty enjoined by them

sasneham,
