Hi all
Inline patterns are really useful, and our team would love to see the following improvements be made to the function (using Passolo 2016 aon):
1) Ability to set a pattern to exclude certain languages when checking. Example: A pattern checking for missing periods will cause hundreds of false alarms Chinese as their period is a different character; same for language-specific Quotation marks; some other rules looking for extra blank spaces cause the same Problem,in e.g., French, as French punctation rules demand leading blanks before !, : etc.
2) Ability to adjust the sort order of the patterns in the dialog; as you move forward and create new patterns, you want to re-arrange them to Keep track of certain checking Clusters.
3) Please support backreferences :-)
4) I wonder if the "Check" box listing all errors after a check could be improved so that it can optinally "sort by rule". And possibly an Ignore button visible in that list view (similar to right-click context function "Suppres) that allows you to confirm/ignore the error. As you parse through (sometimes) hundreds of errors, you just dont want to perm-right-click false errors ;-)
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about that,
Thanks
Stefan
