There is no way to ignore xml tags when tagging

Dear all,

I'm doing some POS tagging on lots of files containing XML tags. So far everything gets tagged, even the XML tags, which is not what I want. It seems that there is no option to tell the tagger to ignore those XML tags. Is there a way to implement this in the future?
Thank you.

One option that you have at present is to delete all the XML tags with the cleanxml annotator.

But I agree that there is no option at present where the tags are kept but ignored, even though I can see how that is a valid use case, such as if working on XML marked up texts.

If I'm honest, I think this is unlikely to be implemented unless someone else wants to take it on. It's just not high up on our list of things to do.

Thank you for your reply. I just decided to use sed to delete the tags from the xml elements: sed -i -e 's/^\(<[^>]*>\).*/\1/' *.conll but I’ll definitely check the cleanxml annotator. On 20.
