1. Copy help.keyman.com/developer/17.0/* into /developer/docs/help 2. Update references to 18.0 where appropriate 3. Copy all referenced images from /cdn/dev into /developer/docs/help/images and update links in documentation Next commit: add deployment to help-keyman-com.sh. Note: simplest way to test links at this point is to use the help.keyman.com auto deploy and wait for the PR on help.keyman.com to be validated; we could look at an internal link validation tool that verifies markdown links?

title: Step 4: Compile the lexical model
Before use the lexical model, we must compile it. In this step, the
.tsv wordlist and the model definition file get
compiled into a single .model.js file. This
file is the one that Keyman uses internally to generate suggestions.
Later on, we will bundle the .model.js file into a lexical model
package so that Keyman apps can install the lexical model.
Models tab
In Keyman Developer project view, select the "Models" tab.
Click on the Build models button to
compile the lexical model. The Message window will display the results
of the compilation. If you have no typing errors, the lexical model
should compile successfully. If successful, this will create a
.model.js file in a build subdirectory of the lexical model project
directory.
Next steps
This concludes the lexical model tutorial. Here's what's next:
- Now that the model is built, we are ready to distribute our lexical model.
- (For advanced users) We can do some advanced customization by modifying the model definition file. Advanced customizations require a some comfort with modifying code!
