DidiWiki 2 version 0.9

I upgraded DidiWiki once again with the possibility to change the picture size and the border. The new tag is {{width=100 height=50 border=2}} to resize the picture at 100x50 px and add a e border of 2 px.

I renamed it DidiWiki 2 because the new tags make it pretty different of kwiki.

DidiWiki a tiny wiki

Did you try DidiWiki?

It's a very light personal Wiki.
Written in C, it requires very few resource and is easy to use.
The current version 0.8 (unofficial) includes several nice upgrades from Gilbert Ashley and many other contributors, and I added my own contribution with the possibility to highlight a portion of text, or to change its color or its background.
The tags are pretty esoteric but I just searched to do something as short as possible.

To highlight, just add + between the text: +Text to highlight+
To change the text color, add {R}Text{R}
To change the background, add (R)Text(R)
{R} and (R) are for red, B for blue, G for green, Y for yellow, C for cyan, P for pink and D for black.

It's not very sophisticated but that works!

The sources are on my other website (I cannot upload file here): http://sansmicrosoft.canalblog.com/archives/wiki_apps/index.html

You will have to decompress the file (tar.gz), to run configure, make and make install as root. You should be able to launch it from the console: didiwiki
Next open your browser and enter in the address bar: localhost:8000
Now, you can create you own personal wiki to store memo, personal user guide...

To start didiwiki with you new session, go to system, preference, startup apps and enter didiwiki in the startup program field.

TexLexAn blog

I open a new blog exclusively for TexLexAn. The link: http://texlexan.blogspot.com/

I will report the development news exclusively on telexan.blogspot.

Sentiment analysis - Text mining

A new feature is added to TexLexAn. The version 0.34 ( texlexan CLI 0.34 + texlexan GUI 0.30 ) is able to estimate the sentiment polarity and to evaluate the intensity of the sentiment in the text.

The sentiment analysis is based on a knowledge base and a simple lexical analyser. The analyser returns a global rating of the sentiment in the text and extracts each sentence expressing a sentiment.

This program runs under Linux and FreeBSD and is available on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/texlexan/files/

In present time, only English and French languages are implemented. There are two only dictionaries: keyworder.en.dicE and keyworder.fr.dicE in the package (pack 1.42); they are very incomplete and contain only 80 words expressing a sentiment. I will explain in another post how to complete these dictionaries.
