This document does double service as a test for pylingdocs and a showcase of its capabilities. It aims to demonstrate every feature and model currently available in pylingdocs.

You can use all the familiar markdown components. Here is a link to the pylingdocs github repo. Here is some bold and italic and bold italic text.

A quote:

Locating an individual language on a given point of the ergativity-nominativity axis and the diachronic interpretation of this axis seem to be conceptually different concerns, even if we were to assume that there are principies favouring one direction over the other. (Álvarez 1997: 71)

Apart from database references, discussed in 6, there are a number of pylingdocs-specific commands, all patterning like links:

• cross-references: 2 or 1, see corresponding label commands
• example references:
  • single [ex:ekiri-13]
  • subexample [ex:ekiri-10]
  • range: [ex:ekiri-13–ekiri-11]
  • or bare: [ex:tri-1]
• glosses: ACC
• todos: [todo: we need to talk about this]
• tables (with automatically generated table labels like Table 3.1):

• figures (with automatically generated table labels like Figure 3.1):

(Figure 3.1: figures/cognates.jpg)

• forms: Tiriyó pakoro se wae ‘I want a house’ (Meira 1999: 417)
• languages: Hixkaryána
• cognate sets:

None

Tiriyó -e ‘SUP’ (Meira 1999: 327) is a variant of Tiriyó -(s)e (Meira 1999: 327). Neither occur on Tiriyó mahto ‘fire’ (Meira 1999: 314), because it is a noun. They are related to Apalaí -se (Koehn and Koehn 1986: 77) and Wayana -(h)e (Tavares 2005: 236). This is thus a cognate set shared by Apalaí, Tiriyó, and Wayana.

• If Tiriyó kure ‘good / pretty / well’ (Meira 1999: 345) has too long a translation, try Tiriyó kure ‘good’ (Meira 1999: 345).

• This dataset contains the Ikpeng text The old man.

Sometimes you want a non-interlinear example, maybe with a form, or a simple list, or a table.
