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.

 

Overview of the Document-Specific Rule Set Area

  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:

The interface of the area is described below. For instructions on how to configure the behavior of the Language Check, go to Configuring the Behavior of the Congree Language Check. Instructions for the character transformation are available under Configuring the Character Transformation.

This is the overview about all areas in the paragraph recognition. See below for detailed instructions.

Paragraph recognition - Restrictions

In this area you can restrict the paragraph recognition in order to reduce the amount of characters that are checked.

para-rec_20_restrictions.png

  1. Input area Number of characters required for a paragraph to be checked: Enter the character count that a segment must have in order to be processed by the Authoring Memory and by the Language Check.

  2. Checkbox Do not check paragraphs matching the following pattern: Define patterns within paragraphs that are not checked. The table is only displayed if the check box is active.
    Click into the empty line to add a new entry. The field contents are:
    Pattern: A regular expression that must match the text to be excluded
    Notes: Enter any short text to describe the pattern
    Confirm this new condition with Return.
    Action: Click here to delete this entry.

    Strings that match the defined pattern are not sent to the Linguistic engine. The language check is not performed on these strings.
