Category: Problem with German Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dominique Pelle (dominikoeo) Assigned to: Daniel Naber (dnaber) >Summary: useless exception in German grammar.xml Initial Comment: Consider this German grammar rule: <rulegroup id="ABKUERZUNG_LEERZEICHEN" name="Typographie: geschütztes Leerzeichen bei Abkürzungen wie 'z. B.'"> <!-- Generalize? How can we make sure we're not only replacing part of an abbreviation? --> <rule> <pattern case_sensitive="yes"> <token>Prof</token> <token spacebefore="no">.</token> <token spacebefore="no">Dr<exception scope="previous"> |&nnbsp;| </exception></token> <token spacebefore="no">.</token> </pattern> The exception <exception scope="previous"> |&nnbsp;| </exception> looks useless to me here since it's a regexp and the regexp="yes" is missing in the exception, so it will never match. Strange that "ant test" does not see that, it seems confused by the <!ENTITY ...> in xml perhaps (not sure). But even with regexp="yes" in the exception it will still never match because non-breaking space is creating a token of its own, so it's impossible to have a non breaking space as previous token here, since the previous token is always a dot. So the rule can be written as: <rulegroup id="ABKUERZUNG_LEERZEICHEN" name="Typographie: geschütztes Leerzeichen bei Abkürzungen wie 'z. B.'"> <!-- Generalize? How can we make sure we're not only replacing part of an abbreviation? --> <rule> <pattern case_sensitive="yes"> <token>Prof</token> <token spacebefore="no">.</token> <token spacebefore="no">Dr</token> <token spacebefore="no">.</token> </pattern> Same error in several other places in de/grammar.xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=655717&aid=3588142&group_id=110216 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
