: Ohh, I missed bimsphone PinYin mode. ;-) I know libtabe and but I have : some different ideas on database design there, so I didn't look deeper : for the possibility of applying libtabe. : : Um, do you mean bimsphone PinYin cannot be easily tuned to 無調拼音, : or is it just a CIN table modification awaited? Thanks for the : information!
The problem is that for no tuned (無調拼音), the character sequence of a PinYin code will be different to the PinYin code of tuned. For example, suppose that the PinYin code with tuned "abcdt" (where "t" is the tuned code) will result to characters: "A1 A2 A3 ....", but the no-tuned code "abcd" will result to, say "A1 B1 C1 A2 A3 ....". So the character sequence changed. This will be a problem when the user want to select a character he/she wants from a list. The character sequence of libtabe obeys the ETen BoPoMoFo rule, i.e., obeys the PinYin with tuned. How could we change it to obey the PinYin without tuned rule? Maybe we should include another table :-)) T.H.Hsieh
