Marc Durdin b751336c13 refactor(developer): copy dev 17.0 help into repo
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 1: Prerequisites for building a lexical model

To prepare a lexical model based on a word list, we will need a few things:

  • Install Keyman Developer 12.0 or greater (Windows only)
  • A list of words in your language, stored in an spreadsheet, in dictionary-making software or, other means.

Note

Currently, lexical models work better with languages that use regular spaces as word boundaries. For complex scripts such as Khmer, Thai, Lao, etc, a pre-processing is required before getting it to work, i.e. word segmentation has to be determined and/or configured. See the advanced topic on making a custom word breaker.
This will be addressed in a future feature.

Now to create a lexical model project!
