Customized texts
You can replace the text which Quantum displays at the top of tables, describing the contents of the table. You can also redefine or translate the default online edit commands, or define your own abbreviations for them.
Defining table texts
For table texts, each line of this file will define one text in the form:
id:text
where id is a single character from the list below defining the text to be replaced, and text is the replacement text. This must start in the third position in every line.
The single character IDs are as follows:
p
Page
t
Table
1
Absolutes
2
Column percentages
0
Row percentages
&
Total percentages
8
Indices
3
Ranks
l
Last absolutes
r
Proportions
m
Means
Example
The example below defines German texts for page and table number, absolutes, row and total percentages, and means:
p:Seite
t:Tabelle
1:Absolutzahlen
0:Reihenprozenten
&:Gesamtprozenten
m:Durchschnitt
Defining names for the online edit commands
To define your own names for the online edit commands, type definitions of the form:
onumber:text
where number is a number identifying the online edit command, and text is the command you want to use. The text may contain a # sign marking the minimum number of characters to be entered for each command. If there is no # sign, you must type the full command. To redefine the delete command as remove, for example, and to allow an abbreviation of rem to be accepted, you would type:
o5:rem#ove
The numbers and defaults for each edit command are as follows:
1
s#et
2
ac#cept
3
ad#d
4
ca#ncel
5
de#lete
6
di#splay
7
e#mit
8
rt
9
rj
10
rm
11
ed#it
13
rej#ect
