fails

Original VisualText 2 documentation (2001–2013). For the current NLP++ tools, see visualtext.org.

Purpose

Fail to match if node matches anything on the list.

Remarks

fails can be used with an _xWILD rule element on the right-hand side of a rule.  fail is an alternate form for fails.

Example

# This rule collects everything up to an _endofpar or a subsequent _par, and reduces that
# set of one or more nodes to _par (which could be short for paragraph).

_par <- _xWILD [plus fails=(_endofpar _par)] @@
