Hi Hieu,
Excellent! Thank you for your explanation.

it doesn't process HTML. Just plain text, and XML markups to indicate
the placeholder

For example, your original sentence is
you owe me $ 100 .
After running it through the placeholder script, the sentence become
you owe me $ <ne translation="@num@" entity="100">@num@</ne> .

The XML processing is needed to parse this XML

Hi,
place holders would be useful. What's the implication of "it just
needs
the XML parsing to run"?
Does this mean that the option could only be used with html-input?
Not
with plain text?
Yours,
Per Tunedal

Hi,

I realised I hadn't compiled my installation of moses with support for
srilm, so I decided to install a new version. However, linking fails with
quite a few files, and I'm not sure why.
I've pointed the install to /usr/local for boost, as the most up-to-date
version is installed there
and it sometimes fails to link to that version and looks in /usr instead.
Not sure why,
as LD_LIBRARY_PATH starts with the right path, but well.


The build now fails mostly with problems relating to boost-program-options
and boost-thread,
but I'm not sure how to fix it. If anyone could have a look at the attached
build log I'd be
very grateful

thanks,
