The PrimerPrep program is designed to help you:

• analyze texts in a language to discover the words and letters used in the language, and how frequently they occur
• specify what to analyze, by selecting which words to analyze, how to count them, and how to break them apart (with affixes)
• provide a suggested teaching order, i.e. the order in which these letters might be introduced in a primer, and show you what words from your texts are available in each lesson
• modify the order of letters in the teaching order, and add sight words
• analyze your text for each lesson and mark untaught residue in red, to draw it to your attention.

Initial steps with PrimerPrep (Extracted from the help file)

Note: Sometimes the program takes a little while to start up, or to open a file dialog. This seems to be caused by the graphics engine used. Just be patient. Usually those operations are faster the second time.

XeTeX based macro package for typesetting USFM formatted (Paratext output) scripture files

Typesetting in minutes, not months

PTXprint is a new tool (still in development) to help teams produce adequate quality printed output from Paratext for the purpose of trial publications (for checking). It aims to hide all the complexity of XeTeX froom the user, and presents an extensive range of options through a simple click-to-enable user-interface.

What does it do?
Everything that Paratext's PrintDraft can do, and a whole lot more, and a whole lot easier! You have complete control over just about everything, from Page Size to Line Spacing. From Picture Positioning to Paragraph Adjustments. Fancy Intro Outlines and Table of Contents for multi-book PDFs. Features can easily be toggled, or tweaked, and the resulting PDF is regenerated within seconds.

Configurations for different kinds of outputs can be carefully crafted, saved, and shared with other Paratext users of the same project - making it easy for them to create whichever trial publications they need to create as PDFs.

Not yet perfect, but highly useful even now...

Currently lacking documentation, but with tooltips for all the settings, you have "in context help".... Read more
