BNC Mark-up > Alternative formats for the BNC

A corpus like the BNC may be usefully converted in three or four ways:

 

1.In a format which Windows will expect, preferably with a .txt filename so that Windows will open each text easily
2.with the files all stored in folders whose names mean something useful
3.in Unicode, a format which handles all the curly quote marks and dashes unambiguously
4.optionally you may also want a markup-free copy so you can read the texts easily.

 

In WordSmith, use Text Converter for this.
