The standalone version of the collation editor. This version uses locally stored data files and does not require embedding in another platform.

Introduction

The collation editor is a GUI wrapper around collateX. A version of that software is included with this editor.

The collation editor requires Python3.

The version of collateX packaged with this code requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 or higher.

The collation editor has primarily been tested in Firefox but should also work in Chrome.
