Inserting a Tag

There are a variety of tags availble to you via the Tag menu. You will need to use tags in order to designate special roles for certain terms or strings. The following is a list of steps for inserting a tag in CLTreeView. In this example we will insert an AddTerm tag:

1. Highlight a string or choose an insertion point in the Text Editor. If you highlight a string, the tag will automatically wrap the string. If you choose an insertion point, the opening and closing tag will appear with no contents.
   

2. Select Tags>AddTerm. Your tag appears in the Text Editor.
   

Using AddTerm

Perhaps the most important authoring tag is AddTerm. You can use it to encase any term or phrase that is undefined according to KCE vocabulary. By encasing this term in AddTerm tags, you are suggesting that the term should be included in KCE vocabulary. Many sentences do not pass because they contain unknown terms or phrases. By encasing the unknown term or phrase with an AddTerm tag, you render the sentence valid and allow it to pass.

When you encase a term or phrase in an AddTerm tag and the sentence passes, your AddTerm is submitted to the LMT as a proposed new term, and your sentence is provided as an example usage. The term may be approved and incorporated into a future version of the Analyzer. Because AddTerms generate potential additions to KCE vocabulary, you should use them with some discrimination. Only use AddTerm when you feel you have found a substantial omission from the KCE vocabulary. If you can find a synonym that already exists in KCE, you may want to choose that word or phrase rather than generating an AddTerm.
