Problem drawing relations between spans in the HTML editor, on an HTML document

[Craig Thomson]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a simple project where spans of text can be annotated on an HTML document, using the HTML editor, with relation arcs then drawn between the spans.

To do this, I setup a "Basic annotation (span/relation)" project and then imported a set of simple HTML documents, with the most simple being just a sentence within a pair of paragraph tags.

When using the HTML editor, I can create the spans, but no label appears atop them (as in BRAT) which allows me to create a relation by dragging between spans.  When I switch to BRAT, I can create spans as expected, although they do not show on the main annotation pain (but are list in the left hand panel) when I switch back to the HTML annotator.

Are relations supported in the HTML annotator, and if so, how should I configure the project / annotation interface to enable them?

Ultimately I want to annotate between sentences in <p> tags and items in lists and/or tables, so I do need the functionality of the HTML annotator, and the headings and lists do render properly when I use them, it is just the relations that do not work.

Many thanks

Hi Craig,

thanks for using INCEpTION. First off: which version are you using?

Depending on the INCEpTION version you are using, there is a switch at the top of the editor to show the labels in-line. None of the current HTML-oriented editors currently display the annotations above the text (inter-linear).

The RecogitoJS HTML editor supports relations. You can enable it by adding the following to your `settings.properties` file:

```
ui.html-recogitojs.enabled=true
```

You need to explicitly switch to this editor via the settings dialog on the annotation page or by setting it as the default editor in the project settings.

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

Many thanks for your reply.

I am using Inception 29.5 (2023-10-10 19:32:34, build 6cad8d1e)

The RecogitoJS interface looks like exactly what I am looking for!

Thanks again,

Craig
