Custom footnote functions

If you wish, you can write custom code to decide what kind of footnote is needed in each case. Your code should return one of these values.

• FootnoteType.ParsingGloss: Print the parsing and the gloss.
• FootnoteType.Parsing: Print the parsing only.
• FootnoteType.Gloss: Print the gloss only.
• FootnoteType.None: Print no footnote at all.

The default code below can be a guide for what the code should look like. For instance, in the NT canon, if a word is above the frequency threshold, the parsing will only be printed if it is not a present indicative.

Hebrew Old Testament

if (lex_id === 1439638) {
    return FootnoteType.None;
}
if (isVerb) {
    if (belowFrequencyThreshold) {
        return FootnoteType.ParsingGloss;
    } else {
        return FootnoteType.Parsing;
    }
} if (isSubstantive) {
    if (belowFrequencyThreshold) {
        return FootnoteType.ParsingGloss;
    } else {
        return FootnoteType.None;
    }
} else {
    if (belowFrequencyThreshold || isInteroggative) {
        return FootnoteType.Gloss;
    } else {
        return FootnoteType.None;
    }
}

(The first line is a bit of a quirk: the “Yah” in “Halleluyah” is its own word in the BHSA dataset, and occurs 49 times. But I don’t think it ought to be glossed.)

Here are the variables that are available to you for Hebrew Old Testament words:

isVerb: boolean
isSubstantive: boolean
lex_id: number
isInteroggative: boolean
belowFrequencyThreshold: boolean
verbStem: "NA" | "qal" | "piel" | "hif" | "nif" | "pual" | "hit" | "hof" | "hsht" | "pasq" | "hotp" | "nit" | "poal" | "poel" | "htpo" | "peal" | "tif" | "etpa" | "pael" | "haf" | "htpe" | "htpa" | "peil" | "etpe" | "afel" | "shaf"

New Testament

Here is the default code:

if (isVerb) {
    if (belowFrequencyThreshold) {
        return FootnoteType.ParsingGloss;
    } else if (!(mood == 'indicative' && tense == 'present')) {
        return FootnoteType.Parsing;
    } else {
        return FootnoteType.None;
    }
} if (isSubstantive) {
    if (belowFrequencyThreshold) {
        return FootnoteType.ParsingGloss;
    } else {
        return FootnoteType.None;
    }
} else {
    if (belowFrequencyThreshold) {
        return FootnoteType.Gloss;
    } else {
        return FootnoteType.None;
    }
}

Here are the variables that are available to you for New Testament words:

isVerb: boolean
isSubstantive: boolean
tense: "NA" | "present" | "imperfect" | "future" | "aorist" | "perfect" | "pluperfect"
voice: "NA" | "active" | "middle" | "passive"
mood: "NA" | "indicative" | "imperative" | "subjunctive" | "optative" | "infinitive" | "participle"
belowFrequencyThreshold: boolean

Caveats

This should be considered an experimental feature. In particular, if your code contains a bug, you’re not going to get an error message about it. It’ll just fail.

Security

Potential malefactors take note: the JavaScript that is entered into these boxes is only ever run in an isolated environment, and with a 100 ms timeout.
