How to use conllu.js

[sakinho]

Hello,

I'm happy to find conllu.js. I would like to use it for dependency tree visualization in my university.

I have a conll output and I would like to "print" the tree in a website, I tried to do that but I don't know how to start.

As far as I can see conllu.js is part of a bigger project. I tried to get into annodoc, brat and the rest of the dependencies but they are too much for my knowledge.

My cuestion is, is there an easy way to load some js files and then call to a function to paint the tree?

I really appreciate your help

@sakinho did you find the way to use it ?

No, not a single clue :(

While more documentation by the author is hopefully underway, one simple thing that you can do, if you just want to test the library or play around with it a bit, is the following:

1. make sure you download/clone the branch called gh-pages! This will pull also the libraries you need in the expected location;
2. edit line 103 of index.html by supplying the path to the directory where you copied the repo;
3. open your local copy of the index.html: you'll see that if you edit the text in the editable box, your tree will appear right there.

(at least, that's what I did, but I am total newbie with javascript)
