This repository contains the Jupyter Notebook used to create a new Text-Fabric feature betacode.
The final feature file (betacode.tf) was added to the package available at the tonyjurg/N1904addons repository.
You can view the production notebook on nbviewer.org.
Alternative, you can also download it from the GitHub repository.
The Text-Fabric framework is designed to facilitate the analysis and manipulation of large-scale textual data, particularly in the context of ancient languages and biblical texts. The engine of Text-Fabric is its powerful Python library, which provides a comprehensive set of tools for processing and querying structured text data efficiently. The software package is accessible at https://github.com/annotation/text-fabric.
