Settings Manager: Document

Owned by Claudius Hörth
Feb. 08, 2024

In the Document menu, you can configure settings that influence Congree at the document level. This is done by means of document-specific rule sets.

The individual areas of the menu are listed below.

Important:

The settings shown here largely correspond to the "Congree Standard" rule set. Deviations from the "Congree Standard" have been chosen arbitrarily and serve the demonstration of the components of the respective area.


Info:

Congree has an internal versioning system. Each change to a document-specific rule set increments the version, starting with v1.

  1. Drop-down menu for rule sets: Select a document-specific rule set.
  2. Create button: Create a new document-specific rule set.
  3. Clone button: Clone the selected rule set.
  4. Delete button: Delete the selected rule set.
  5. Show disabled rule sets: Include disabled rule sets in the drop-down list.

Note:

"Congree Standard" is the default rule set that cannot be deleted. If "Congree Standard" is selected, the Delete button will be inactive.

Overview of the Document Language Area

  1. Drop-down menu Language: Select the document language.
  2. Drop-down menu Sublanguage: Select the sublanguage of your document language.

Overview of the Paragraph Recognition Area

In the Paragraph recognition area, you can configure the behavior of the Language Check and of the Authoring Memory.

Note:

The information provided here applies not only to XML elements, but also to style templates in unstructured document formats (see Paragraph Recognition for Unstructured Document Formats).

Tip:

      • Normal
      • Ignore content
      • Ignore content - protected
      • Ignore tag and content
      • Ignore tag
      • Nested
    5. Protected option: Determine that the Congree Language Check is to process the inline element as a protected inline element.
    6. Input screen Language Check specifics: All check entities for which the Check rule applies can be subjected to special handling by the Congree Language Check.

  7. Character Transformation: The table determines how the Congree Linguistic Engine is to handle certain character strings. 

    1. Input screen Character string: Specify the character string that Congree is to process in a particular way.

    2. Operation drop-down list: Select whether Congree should remove the string or replace it with another string for processing by the Congree Linguistic Engine.

    3. Input screen Transformation: Specify how Congree is to process the character string, e.g. like a particular entity or element.

    4. Drop-down list Target: Select the Congree component to which the change applies:

      • Language Check: The transformation of the character string is to apply to the Congree Language Check.
      • Correction proposals: The stored transformation will be provided as a correction proposal in the Language Check Panel.

    5. Drop-down list Search mode: Select how Congree is to find the defined character string:

      • Normal: Case-insensitive search
      • Normal (uppercase/lowercase): Case-sensitive search
      • Regular expression: Case-insensitive search for the character string(s) that correspond(s) to the regular expression
      • Regular expression (uppercase/lowercase): Case-sensitive search for the character string(s) that correspond(s) to the regular expression
    6. Action button: Delete rules from the list.

Important:

If the check entities to be checked and ignored are not defined, the Language Check may return seemingly unsuitable notifications for certain paragraph styles.

Note:

Enabling the automatic paragraph recognition disables the Paragraph and Inline elements tables. The Character transformation table remains active.
