anchorman 0.5.3

# Welcome to Anchorman

Turn your text into [hypertext](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext) and enrich the content. Anchorman finds terms in text and replaces them with another representation.

The replacement is rule-based. Each term is checked against the rules and will be applied if valid.

# How many items will be marked at all in the text. replaces_at_all: 5

# Input term has to be exact match in text. case_sensitive: true

## Features

• replacement rules

• consider text units in the rules (e.g. paragraphs)

• replace only n items of the same item

• specify restricted_areas for linking by tag: a, img

• sort elements by value before apply them

• return applied elements

## Usage

>>> from anchorman import annotate
>>> text = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'
>>> elements = [{'fox': {'value': '/wiki/fox', 'data-type': 'animal'}}]
>>> print annotate(text, elements)
'The quick brown <a href="/wiki/fox" data-type="animal">fox</a> jumps over the lazy dog.'
