That should be possible too, though I'm not sure how feasible it is to get CG to go that far into a text. By default, CG keeps a context of two windows, but that's configurable. It should be possible (perhaps with minor modifications to cg-proc) to read a bunch of sentences and use Window Spanning tests https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/single/#test-spanning Tino, have you tried looking ahead several paragraphs, are there any downsides? This should be a fairly simple rule file. > This sounds perfect for Occitan. Is there a documentation in the wiki? There is!
