Bliss Symbols (Viewer)

A database of all official Blissymbols, and their definitions. Plus some additional utilities. Contents:

• blissdata_chars.js, blissdata_words.js: this are the most important files, the database itself
• blissviewer.js: a generic Javascript module for attaching Blissymbols to text
  • this file is compiled from the corresponding TypeScript file blissviewer.ts
• blissviewer.css: example CSS style sheet for displaying the Blissymbols
• blissviewer-demo.html: a simple webpage that shows how blissviewer.js can be used; you can test it out here:
  • https://blissymbolics.github.io/blissymbols/blissviewer-demo.html
  • the demo uses a wrapper Javascript file blissdemo.js, and the JQuery library

There are only three global names that are introduced by the library: BLISS_CHAR_DATA, BLISS_WORD_DATA and BlissViewer are defined by blissdata_chars.js, blissdata_words.js and blissviewer.js, respectively. They are supposed to be used like this:

var myBlissViewer = new BlissViewer(BLISS_CHAR_DATA, BLISS_WORD_DATA, {...})

(The third argument to the BlissViewer constructor is an optional configuration dictionary).
