A Simplified Chinese-pinyin-English 3-line PDF file for the 2012 district convention invitation has been posted to 3lines.org.
To download the file:
Thanks go out to the one who provided the source file.
New MP3 audio files, for Lessons 5 to 7, are now available for download on the Mandarin Course from Wilmington page.
3-line pinyin and Sidney Lau XLP-iPhone-A5 size files with LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) for Chapter 25 of the Bearing Witness book are now available for download from the Bearing Witness Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.
To further explain how the XLP-iPhone-A5 files may work well on a variety of mobile devices, the following paragraphs are now included on the Bearing Witness Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page:
While the regular 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, such as Android phones. (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.)
The XLP-iPhone-A5 files should also be a good fit on 6" (15.2 cm) screen Kindles and other similarly sized devices, as well as on tablets with 7" (17.8 cm) screens, as long as these devices have PDF support. (Note that landscape orientation may work best, as explained below.) Some may prefer to use these files on larger mobile devices like the Kindle DX or the iPad as well.
Also, instructions have been added re how to download the files on an iPhone or an iPod touch using GoodReader for iPhone, and how to download the files on an iPad using GoodReader for iPad.
The relevant folders at the 3lines.org site contain an HTML file with a link to the Bearing Witness Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files available for download have been updated. They are available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Downloads and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Downloads pages. These files are 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 romanization are both available.
The current edition is now dated 2012-06-11. It contains 16,897 entries + 8981 alternate headings), compared to the 15,944 entries (+ 6493 alternate headings) that were in the previous edition. For the Mandarin RTE data, Pleco, Wenlin, ChinaScribe, DICT, StarDict (for ColorDict, etc.), and iSilo data files are now available in addition to the PDF files. (We have not been able to make the StarDict data files work with the StarDict program itself, but they may work with ColorDict and other programs that read the StarDict format.)
Re this update, the one who produces the RTE said:
In response to a comment we received about RTE being too big to print, there is now an extra “compact” version for printing. It contains all the material of the regular PDFs, but requires only about 150 sheets of paper. It does however need a little cutting and folding (instructions are on the front page, and it’s similar to the old pinyin songbook, so anyone who did that should know how to do this).
Margins have been set with bookbinding in mind and footnotes are reformatted to save space.
...this version is ONLY for printing. The pages are in “signature” order for the folding/binding to work, therefore it’ll be awful to use on screen.
We still supply the regular PDFs for screen use.
For now, the compact version is only for Mandarin and ordered by English. I think we should check if there’s any feedback from the field before doing other versions. We might have to make further changes to the layout based on what people tell us.
Bookmarks have been added to the PDF files with “LN-A” (“Link Navigation-Annotation”) included in their filenames, and PDF annotation has been enabled on them as well. See the PDF Link Navigation page and the PDF Annotation (Notes & Highlighting) page for more information.
Note that Pleco is now available for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad and for Android. The RTE Pleco Instructions file contains instructions for installing the RTE Pleco files in Pleco running on these devices.
As a reminder, note that the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Web Lookup and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Web Lookup pages are now available as well. Rather than containing download links to the RTE data files, they each contain a web form that can be used to look up RTE information.
Thanks go out to the ones who helped to produce this set of resources.
