Highlighters are codebooks that are used for highlighting words in the article text shown in the Annotator. For example, this screenshot shows the codebook ‘Dutch parties’, consisting of codes with the names of Dutch political parties. All codes have ‘nl’ as the language for labels.
When this codebook is used in a codingschema, the names of the parties included in the codebook are highlighted in the annotator for all coding jobs with that schema, as shown here.
To use a highlighter, select it from the ‘Highlighter’ list when creating a new codingschema. Also, make sure to select the right highlight language, that is, the language used for the code labels in the highlighter codebook (for this example, ‘nl’).
