ConcTEX: Generating a concordance from TEX input files

Laurence Finston · 2011

ConcTEX is a package that generates a concordance from a plain TEX file. It has been designed specifically for books containing transcriptions of medieval manuscripts, such as facsimile editions, but it can be adapted for other types of material. ConcTEX consists of TEX code in the file conctex.tex and a Common Lisp program in the file conctex.lsp. The main advantage of ConcTEX is that the same TEX files are used for typesetting and for generating the concordance. It also performs alphabetization of arbitrary special characters and lemmatization. ConcTEX illustrates the power of using TEX and Lisp in combination. It is available under the normal conditions applying to free software.
