Class DelimTextFunction

java.lang.Object
  edu.upenn.cis.pdtb.xpath.DelimTextFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.jaxen.Function

public class DelimTextFunction

extends java.lang.Object

implements org.jaxen.Function

Transforms the raw text into delimited blocks, one for each span. This function has the signature:

   string delim-text()
 

If the context node has multiple spans, then the spans are concatenated with #### as delimiter. This is perhaps useful in conjunction with the regexp function to search for text patterns within a span.
