10139N/Aof branching keyboard XML files in the format that GOK expects. Given an input

10139N/Ain turn refers to a family of *.kbd files that are created based on data in

15995N/A<para>
15995N/A<command>&cmd;</command> can be used to create families of branching keyboards
15995N/Afrom UTF-8 input files. The format of the input files is as follows:
10139N/A</para>
10139N/A<itemizedlist>
15995N/A<listitem>Lines beginning with '#' are ignored.</listitem>
15995N/A<listitem>The rest of the input file consists of consecutive pairs of lines.
15995N/AThe first line of a pair is typically ignored, but should serve as a UTF-8
15995N/Alabel describing the "primary key" in the next line. The second line of the
15995N/Apair consists of a single UTF-8 character followed by a ':' color delimiter,
10139N/Aand a string of UTF-8 characters to which the initial character may branch.
15995N/A</listitem>
10139N/A</itemizedlist>
15995N/A<para>
15995N/AThe resulting XML file, after processing, defines <filename>.kbd</filename>
10139N/Afiles such that each prefix 'primary key' forms a key on the GOK keyboard
10139N/Awhose label is the "primary key" UTF-8 character, and which branches to a
15995N/Akeyboard consisting of the following UTF-8 characters, one per key.
15995N/A</para>
15995N/A<para>
15995N/A<command>&cmd;</command> is particularly useful in creating branching keyboards
15995N/Afor ideographic languages. For instance, the primary key for a given line may
15995N/Aconsist of the UTF-8 character for a 'radical' such as h&eacute;ng.
