Standard Format Markers (SFMs) is a way of marking up text that has been used within the organisation "SIL International" for about three decades. SFMs are used as the basis for the format of the ToolBox and ShoeBox programs, and thus quite a bit of the world's linguistic data is stored in SFM.

Today I completed writing a "generic" SFM importer for Emdros. The importer doesn't deal with all of the data encoded in SFM; it only deals with "one word per record" SFM files, not the "several words per record" SFM files that can also be produced by ToolBox and ShoeBox.

This will make its public debut in the next release after 1.2.0.pre221.
