Overlapping Terms - jzohrab/lute GitHub Wiki

This documentation is deprecated/obsolete. Lute v2 has been replaced by Lute v3, a full Python rewrite. Please see the Lute v3 manual which includes notes on installation. If you have Lute v2, you can easily migrate to v3. Thank you!

Feature initially released in v2.0.7

Sometimes Terms you define may "overlap", so Lute displays those with an extra indicator.

For example, suppose you're studying Spanish, and you have already defined two Terms: "tengo un gato", and "un gato bueno y gordo" (with different Statuses, one is new, the other is easy). If you were reading a book with text "Tengo un gato bueno y gordo.", Lute displays that like this:

The small "+" sign next to the "bueno y gordo" indicates that the full Term "un gato bueno y gordo" is _partially overlapped by the preceding term.

If you hover over the "+ bueno y gordo", you'll see the full term:

and clicking on it will open the Term form with the full term as well:

If you don't like the "+" sign as the overlap indicator, you can customize it using a custom style:

/* content in data/custom_styles/custom_styles.css */
span.overlapped:before {
   content: "\00BA";
   color: green;
}

which gives this:
