1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: 1. Could I put it more shortly? 2. Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?

What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way around.

When you think of a concrete object, you think wordlessly, and then, if you want to describe the thing you have been visualizing you probably hunt about until you find the exact words that seem to fit it. When you think of something abstract you are more inclined to use words from the start, and unless you make a conscious effort to prevent it, the existing dialect will come rushing in and do the job for you, at the expense of blurring or even changing your meaning

Here, each view starts by checking that request.user is authenticated — that is, the current user has successfully logged into the site — and redirects to /accounts/login/ if not.

It would be nice if we could remove that bit of repetitive code from each of these views and just mark them as requiring authentication.

Now, we can remove the if not request.user.is_authenticated() checks from our views and simply wrap them with requires_login in our URLconf:

For everyone else make sure you follow these steps: 1. Use Flash 8 or previous version (I used 6) with the -T command : pdf2swf -T 6 2. Use the -f command for full fonts : pdf2swf -f 3. Test your outputted swf with: swfdump -t filename.swf , you should see a list of DEFINETEXT statements and the corresponding text. Due to a font conflict I was seeing DEFINETEXT followed by jumbled up text on my first pdf. 4. Test your outputted swf with: swfstrings filename.swf, you should see your text and a LOT of ???????s. Again, I had garbage text when trying to convert my original PDF. If the swfdump and swfstrings tests are working, load your pdf2swf.swf into Flash. Publish it for 8. I loaded it into a movieclip on my root timeline called 'loader' : loader.loadMovie("pdf2swf_files/6new.swf"); I have a movieclip called 'searchText_mc' and have the following code for it: searchText_mc.onRelease = function() { hltext ("wonderful"); } And then the hltext is as Fabio provided. This will yellow-highlight all the occurrences of the search string: function hltext ( txt ) { trace("hltext"); var mc = _root.loader; var my_snap:TextSnapshot = mc.getTextSnapshot(); var start_pos:Number = 0; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); trace("start_pos : " + start_pos); while ( start_pos > 0 ) { trace ( start_pos ); my_snap.setSelected( start_pos, start_pos + txt.length, true ); start_pos += txt.length; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); } } If anyone would like some sample files give me a shout,

We can count how often a word occurs in a tex

Adding two lists creates a new list

count the occurrences of a particular word using text1.count('heaven')

With ForeignKey fields, it works the other way, too, but it’s slightly different due to the non-symmetrical nature of the relationship. To get a list of books for a given publisher, use publisher.book_set.all(), like this:
