Importing a document form Toolbox is very much the same as
importing a document from Shoebox (see Section 4.2.17). The Toolbox
import assumes that all markers in the file are Unicode (although it
still allows to import files in which all markers are in ISO-Latin
if you uncheck All markers are Unicode). This
alternative to the Shoebox import attempts to allow more flexibility
in terms of tier relations and tries to prevent that words are cut
up in case of misalignment. As with the Shoebox import, information
about the tier relations can be provided by means of a
.typ
file or by using a marker file.
When reconstructing the vertical alignment of words on interlinearized markers, the position is recalculated based on the number of bytes per character. But in some files this leads to incorrect alignment, therefore this recalculation can be turned off by unchecking Correct alignment based on the number of bytes per character. This import also tries to take non-spacing characters into account.
