We announce the first release candidate of version 2.0 of Tag-Aligner. After a period of development, Miquel Simon has included some features that improve the performance of the aligner.
The main improvement in this version is the creation of an XML configuration file. In
this file users can define the values for different parameters that are used during the
alignment process.
Now the aligner can process any XML-like markup-language-based file beyond
XHTML. In the configuration file you can define the set of tags that the aligner should
take into account. This will let you align documents from different sources: XHTML,
XML, OpenOffice.org, DocBook, or any XML-based file.
Other parameters such as the edit costs are also set in the configuration file. In this way
users may change them so that it suits their needs.
