Note: This is an early access repository. The way that things work will likely be subject to regular changes for the time being.

This repository is an example based on the RecogitoJS JavaScript editor component of how to integrate a JavaScript-based annotation editor with INCEpTION. It also uses a special CSS stylesheet to render two separately scrolling areas. This feature depends on the generic XML importer from INCEpTION and requires that the imported files follow this structure:

<div class="view-side-by-side">
  <div class="view-left">
    ...
  </div>
  <div class="view-right">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Note that importing generic XML is currently an experimental feature that needs to be activated by creating (or updating) a settings.properties file in your INCEpTION application home and adding the line format.generic-xml.enabled=true.

Starting with INCEpTION v23, external editor plugins are supported. To use this editor, first create a folder named editors in your INCEpTION application home. By default, this is ~/.inception, but on server installations, you will usually have set it to something else such as /srv/inception.

Clone this repository as a sub-folder under the editors folder.

tl;dr:

$ cd ~/.inception
$ mkdir editors
$ cd editors
$ git clone https://github.com/inception-project/inception-intertext-editor-plugin.git

Finally, start INCEpTION. Early during start-up, you should see a message like this:

ExternalEditorLoader - Loading editor plugin: Intertext (external)

Also, on the annotation page, you should be able to switch to that editor.
