[cgreek:00030] Re: More tlg utilities

Dear Dr.Smith,

As for the format of the reference citations on which I have written in
the last mail, I have forgotten you have already written about it.

Perhaps, the following way is the simplest, for instance. But you may have
already noticed it.

(defun tlg-getref ()
  "Return the current TLG citation data."
  (interactive)
  (setq tlg-current-ref (format "%s*%s*%s*%s*%s*%s" 
                                (or (get-text-property (point) 'nref) " ")
                                (or (get-text-property (point) 'vref) " ")
                                (or (get-text-property (point) 'wref) " ")
                                (or (get-text-property (point) 'xref) " ")
                                (or (get-text-property (point) 'yref) " ")
                                (or (get-text-property (point) 'zref) " "))
))


As for the conversion of the TLG string for the mode line, isn't it not
possible to use tlg2emacs as a "filter"?

> Takahashi-San

 Could you explain us about the command-line parameters of tlg2emacs ?
 Though I read the source of tlg2emacs, I couldn't find some informations
 about it. 

  # Even after Emacs was terminated, the daemon(?) tlgd remained. Of course
  # it is possible to kill the process of tlgd from the shell-command.
  # but it is a little bit troublesome.
