  se.lth.cs.nlp.nlputils.annotations.AnnotationType
      se.lth.cs.nlp.nlputils.annotations.RawXMLAnnotation

public class RawXMLAnnotation
extends AnnotationType

This AnnotationType implements functionality to handle classical nested XML annotations.

Method Summary

AnnotatedText	createLayers(InputStream in) Creates an annotated text with a single layer.
AnnotatedText	createLayers(String s) This method is unimplemented since raw XML text should never be put into Java strings (because this may break the encoding).
static RawXMLAnnotation	instance() Returns the instance of this AnnotationType.
void	printLayers(OutputStream out, String text, List<AnnotationLayer> l) Prints a list of annotation layers on a text to an output stream.
