History

#1 Updated by Serge Heiden about 9 years ago

The CWB file, as the ticket title name it (what you call the "WTC" file), should not be parsed as XML
because the CWB format is not based on the XML standard at all:
  • the CWB file format only mimics XML poorly (space between attribute-value pairs is significant, etc.)
  • the CWB format allows to use any XML special character anywhere on a word line (without using any special XML convention)
  • no XML processing instructions are allowed
  • no xi:xinclude element either
  • etc.

The code must only mimict simple XML element parsing for 'XML' like lines only.
