Description

This layer adds support for conlanging.

Features

  • Generate graphviz trees based on Elisp trees
  • Replace some text by its runic equivalent (supports the Mattér and Eittlandic languages)
  • Adds phonetics to Ňyqy text
  • Provides custom shortcuts

Graphviz trees

The conlanging layer provides one public function called conlanging/tree-to-dot. It accepts as its sole argument a list of strings or lists, such as the following:

  (setq-local vowels
    '("[vowel]"
      ("[back]"
       ("[tense]"
        ("[high]" ("ü"))
        ("{high}" ("ö")))
       ("{tense}"
        ("[high]" ("u"))
        ("{high}" ("o"))))
      ("{back}"
       ("[tense]"
        ("[high]" ("y"))
        ("{high}" ("ë")))
       ("{tense}"
        ("[high]" ("i"))
        ("{high}" ("e"))))))

When passed in the above mentioned function, and the result itself is passed through graphviz, we get the following result:

This example tree is only a binary tree, but a single node can have up to ten children. See some examples in the Ňyqy source file.

Install

To install this layer, either clone this project in your ~/.emacs.d/private/ folder, or symlink it from there to your actual clone location. Then, add conlanging in your dotspacemacs file in the dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(conlanging))

You can then reload your configuration file with SPC f e R, or restart Emacs with SPC q r or SPC q R.
