Make a gloss list

Description

Creates a gloss list based on glosses used in gloss_example. This function tries to guess the meaning of used glosses based on some internal database or database provided by user. You shouldn't treat result as carved in stone: you can copy, modify and paste in your markdown document. If you want your glossing list to be created automatically with make_gloss_list you can compile your own table in the definition_source argument.

Usage

make_gloss_list(
  definition_source = lingglosses::glosses_df,
  remove_glosses = "",
  all_possible_variants = FALSE,
  annotate_problematic = TRUE
)

Arguments

definition_source	dataframe with the columns gloss and definition that helps to automatic search for the gloss definitions.
remove_glosses	character vector that contains glosses that should be removed from the abbreviation list.
all_possible_variants	logical. Some glosses have multiple definitions.
annotate_problematic	logical. Whether emphasize duplicated and definitionless glosses

Value

a string with glosses and their definitions gathered from definition_source table.
