Was Life Created? Br. Chinese-Pinyin-Eng. XLP-iPhone-A5 Size LN-A Material Up to P. 6 Subhd. Posted

3-line Chinese-Pinyin-English XLP-iPhone-A5 size files with LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) and containing material covering from the front cover to the subheading on p. 6 of the Was Life Created? brochure are now available for download from the new Was Life Created? Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page. The files are available in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions.


While the iPad-Letter-A4 size files use letter size as the paper size, these files named with “XLP-iPhone-A5” use A5 as the paper size, and are especially suited for use on devices such as the iPhone, the iPod touch, and other devices with similarly sized screens. (See the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPhone or an iPod touch.) When zoomed so that one page fills the entire screen, the material in these files also renders at a good, usable size on the iPad and other devices with similarly sized screens. (Corresponding iPad-Letter-A4 size material is available on the Was Life Created? Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, iPad-Letter-A4, LN-A) page.)


These files may also be printed out on letter size paper, resulting in Extra Large Print material. (See the Printing Extra Large Print 3-Line Material page for instructions.)


The relevant folders at the 3lines.org site contain an HTML file with a link to the Was Life Created? Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.

Referenced Theo. Expressions Updated to 2010-10-26 Version

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files, available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanisation + English) pages, have been updated. These files are meant to be relatively extensive lists of theo. expressions as they have been found to be rendered in the Chinese publications. Versions sorted by English and versions sorted by romanisation are both available.


The current version is now dated 2010-10-26. It contains 8614 expressions, compared to the 8409 expressions that were in the previous version. A Mandarin Pleco version, a Mandarin Wenlin version, and a Mandarin ChinaScribe data file are available in addition to the PDF files.


Bookmarks have been added to the PDF files, and PDF annotation has been enabled on them, so “LN-A” (“Link Navigation-Annotation”) is included in their filenames. See the PDF Link Navigation page and the PDF Annotation (Notes & Highlighting) page for more information.


Note that the current version of Pleco for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad now supports flashcards and user-created dictionaries. So, the RTE Pleco Instructions file now contains instructions for installing the RTE Pleco files in Pleco running on these devices. Also, these instructions have been rewritten for greater clarity, with more step-by-step details.


Thanks go out to the one who helped to produce these files. Here are some comments from that person regarding this update:

“Mostly minor corrections/additions, but I’ve made some improvements to the code that makes the
by-English index, especially in Wenlin and Pleco formats. I’m hoping it will now be easier to look up common phrases while doing zero-notice translations of public talks (which I’m sometimes asked to do....)”
