The following HTML elements are used to define the set of anchors in the project [[LACEhpc]]. They are said to involve smaller texts and, therefore, are more likely to provide lexical mappings.

In the scope of the project LACE, an anchor is an element that may facilitate word alignment at the document level.

HTML elements

The following HTML elements are used to define the set of anchors in the project LACEhpc. They are said to involve smaller texts and, therefore, are more likely to provide lexical mappings.

Tag Description
<a> Defines a hyperlink
<b> Defines bold text
<caption> Defines a table caption
<dt> Defines a term (an item) in a definition list
<em> Defines emphasized text 
<figcaption> Defines a caption for a <figure> element
<h1> to <h6> Defines HTML headings
<i> Defines a part of text in an alternate voice or mood
<legend> Defines a caption for a <fieldset>, < figure>, or <details> element
<li> Defines a list item
<mark> Defines marked/highlighted text
<nav> Defines navigation links
<q> Defines a short quotation
<small> Defines smaller text
<strike> Not supported in HTML5. Deprecated in HTML 4.01. Defines strike-through text
<strong> Defines important text
<sub> Defines subscripted text
<sup> Defines superscripted text
<td> Defines a cell in a table
<th> Defines a header cell in a table

Observations

Nesting
Anchors ignore nesting. For instance, the sequence <b><i>ABC</i>DEF</b> was considered to have two anchors: <i>ABC</i> and <b>ABCDEF</b>.
Attributes and events
HTML attributes and events are ignored. For instance: given <a href="http://www.unlweb.net" target="_blank" title="UNL">UNLweb</a>, the anchor is simply <a>UNLweb</a>.
