Tree / Language file details

There are three formats that pasco reads langauge trees in.

  1. Mindnode - Markdown format. - ATX Style

Files look a little like this:

# Chat


## How are you?

- Ace!

- Whats that?

- 

## Whats happening?

- Yeah for sure

## I’m fed up


# I need something


## Its in my bag

## Its somewhere else

## Its upstairs

It's not the easiest to read - note that with markdown line breaks are key. It's easiest to generate this with something like MindNode - an iOS and Mac app to generate MindMaps. It really is a breeze

  1. Tab OR Space Indented text file

Here a file looks like this:

Chat
	How are you?
	Ace!
	Whats that?
	Whats happening?
		Yeah for sure
	I’m fed up

I need something
	Its in my bag
	Its somewhere else
	Its upstairs

It looks a little easier to read - but be warned - spaces and tabs at the beginning cannot be mixed. Don't put a space and then a tab. Its not the easiest.

  1. Open Board format

Pasco natively supports the open board format. To use this simply upload your board(s) as a 'obz' file in the Configuration screen - and hopefully it should work! Note that we of course strip images - and right now there is no built in 'cue' for items. We use the label for this.

To export - select Export in the Configuration screen and select 'obz' format. You will need a way of sharing this file - either via email or your files app (and then dropbox etc) to make use of this outside of your iPad. Note it exports all your sound files too.
