I'd like to do that, & I've made vague plans for it
-- the script that generates the lexicon nxcgtx.htm
from the tab-delimited file nxcgtx.rdb puts in
id attributes on the <DT> tags so I can put in
links to individual dictionary entries later, from
words in the texts; and all the newer sample
texts and sample sentences in the grammar
documents have link anchors all over the place
to be linked to from the dictionary.
But actually automatically
generating all those links will take a fair
bit of coding.  It might be easier to
create a special file of just sample sentences
and generate the links to that rather than
try to write a script that will search the grammar,
semantics and translation documents for
sample sentences, find the nearest link anchor to each, and
generate links to be merged with the dictionary
entries for each morpheme.  I'll try out some different
methods, perhaps.
