public class Annotator
extends JFrame

A simple Java editor that supports the easy addition of xml-style tags to
mark off portions of text.  It displays the tagging via color-coded regions.
This tool is designed for tagging training data for input to information
extraction models.

Usage: java edu.stanford.nlp.annotation.Annotator [tagsFileName]

The optional tags file will contain a list of tag names on separate lines,
and can be created from within Annotator.

Miler Lee, Stanford University, miler@cs.stanford.edu, Huy Nguyen (htnguyen@cs.stanford.edu), Joseph Smarr (jsmarr@stanford.edu) Changes in 1.4 - 5/16/03 ------------- Added batch processing to annotate all files in a folder Added undo/redo to main window Added smart text selection while dragging (ala MS Word) Improved save/save as functionality File name displayed in the title Added ability to remove tags surrounding caret/selection Added keyboard shortcuts for tagging (control+[1-9]) Added ability to automatically tag all other occurences of text inside tags Changes in 1.3.1 - 11/2/02 ------------- Made program more suitable for external calling, by moving the WindowListener setup into the constructor. Cleaned the external API. Changes in 1.3 - 8/29/01 ------------- Changed the name of the application from Tagger to Annotator. New feature that automatically grays out non-essential html, and gives the option to un-gray it. More intelligent "Save changes first" scheme. Made the tag toolbar immobile. Opening a file starts the editor at the top of the file, rather than at the bottom as before. Known bug: color changing dialog doesn't distinguish between ok/cancel Known limitations: no undo, mildly unintuitive save tag file scheme; add option of interpreting a document using a normal html tag scheme, as well as the xml one Changes in 1.2 - 8/3/01 ------------- Added warnings for questionable tagging activity (ie, tagging that splits up an existing html tag). Changed the tag nomenclature: and Changes in 1.11 - 8/1/01 ------------- Dealt with nested tags -- outer-most tag defines the color that the text is, regardless of the other start/end tags nested in the block. Changes in 1.1 - 7/25/01 ------------- Added the option to change the color of tags
