[lojban] LojGloss 1.0

["Chris Capel" <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

I have released the first version of LojGloss, the javascript-based
Lojban glosser. LojGloss opens in an HTML page with a text area that
you can paste or type Lojban text into. When you insert the text, it
displays the text below the box in a normal document format. Clicking
on a word shows a box that displays the gloss, mnemonic, and
definition.

If the word is actually a compound cmavo (i.e. a series of cmavo with
no separating spaces) then LojGloss will try to parse it and show each
cmavo in the definition box. If the word is a lujvo, then LojGloss
will try to parse it into its rafsi and show the definitions for each
of the constituent gismu.

I would provide a live page for demonstration, but I'm not sure I like
the idea of hosting a 475KB web page. Besides, due to the size, it
probably would take an annoyingly long time to load anyway. If someone
else wants to host the live version, though, they're free to.

Bug reports and suggestions welcome.

Known bugs:
- Compound cmavo with their own glosses in cmavo.txt don't get glossed
as a group unless they're written as a group with no other cmavo in
the group.
- Internet Explorer completely untested. (Testing planned. Feel free
to help out.)
