Create reference descriptions for nearby text locations.
tf:createNearTextReference(node $input, integer $distance, token+ $word) => node*
The function tf:createNearTextReference
is specific to
Tamino. It takes a node sequence, an integer value indicating a distance, and
one or more word tokens as arguments. Similar to the function
tf:containsNearText
it searches all word tokens of the node that
are within the specified distance regardless of the token order. However, it
does not return a Boolean value, but a sequence of reference descriptions for
all nodes found.
You can use reference descriptions for subsequent highlighting of these
nodes, see tf:highlight
.
With tf:createNearTextReference
you can create reference
descriptions based on a search using wildcard characters. The section
Pattern
Matching in the XQuery 4 User Guide
explains this in detail.
$input |
node |
---|---|
$distance |
integer value denoting proximity distance |
$word |
a word token |
Create reference descriptions in remarks
nodes stating
that patients respond to treatment:
for $a in input()/patient return tf:createNearTextReference($a/remarks, 2, "treatment", "responding")
This query returns reference descriptions to the locations of all word tokens found.
