Sure: <e> <p><l>h</l><r>h</r></p> <p><l>o</l><r>o</r></p> <p><l>u</l><r>u</r></p> <p><l>s</l><r>s</r></p> <p><l>e</l><r>e</r></p> <p><l></l><r><s n="n"/></r></p> <p><l>s</l><r><s n="pl"/></r></p> </e> ...but that's extremely inefficient, and the task is performed by lttoolbox internally, with the added bonus that it finds the optimal alignment itself. The <i> element effectively says 'each contained character maps to itself', which is usually what you want. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
