“My Follower” Bk. 3-Line XLP-iPhone-A5 Size LN-A Files For Ch. 15 Posted

3-line pinyin and Sidney Lau XLP-iPhone-A5 size files with LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) for Chapter 15 of the “My Follower” book are now available for download from the “My Follower” Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.


Based on my recent experience with using these files on an iPad, the following sentence has been added to the “My Follower” Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page:

When zoomed so that one page fills an entire screen, the material in these files also renders at a good size on the iPad and other devices with similarly sized screens.

The relevant folders at the 3lines.org site contain an HTML file with a link to the “My Follower” Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.

Referenced Theo. Expressions Updated to 2010-11-17 Version, Mandarin Web Lookup Added

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files, available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Downloads (note the slightly altered name) 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 2010-11-17. It contains 8744 expressions, compared to the 8614 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.


Newly available this time around is the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Web Lookup page. Rather than containing download links to the RTE data files, it contains a web form that can be used to look up Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) information by English or by Simplified or Traditional Chinese characters.


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 ones who helped to produce this group of resources.
