For Apertium, we use the lexc for certain transducers. There are some apertium-specific conventions we employ, outlined below. This wiki also has a comparison of lttoolbox and lexc formats.

Preferred format for stem definitions

The preferred format for stem definitions is underlying:surface CLASS ; ! "gloss", with optional following conditions, for example:

бул:бу DET-DEM ; ! "this" ! Dir/LR

Morpheme boundary

We use %> as a morpheme boundary indicator in lexc.

Conditions

There are a few special conditions we use: ! Dir/LR, ! Dir/RL, and ! Use/MT. These allow us to grep out lines to have different right-to-left and left-to-right transducers, and also have separate MT-specific and vanilla transducers. Otherwise lexc simply interprets these as comments.

Bracketed multi-character symbols

We define certain types of multi-character symbols for various purposes.

Tags

Tags are defined with less-than and greater-than signs, e.g. %<pl%>.

Archiphonemes

Archiphonemes are defined with curly braces, e.g. %{A%}.

Features

Features are defined with square brackets, e.g. %[%-coop%].

Syntax highlighting and folding in vim

If you want to have lexc syntax highlighted in vim, you can use something like the following, which you should put in ~/.vim/syntax/lexc.vim (don't forget to put au BufRead,BufNewFile *.lexc set filetype=lexc in ~/.vim/ftdetect/lexc.vim).
