Hi Lars,
As I understand it, according to the Norwegian rules, words in all caps
should not be contracted, hence the capsnocont opcode.
I have two questions about the Norwegian rules:
1. In grade 2, do you always mark capital letters with capsletter sign (like
UEB rules) or do you normally skip marking the first letter of sentences and
names etc. with capsletter sign (like the ole British rules and Danish
rules?
2. When you do mark capital letters at the beginning of a word, can these
letters be a contraction? In other words, does capsletter also act as
letsign at the same time?

Hi, Bert!

Haven't investigated it deeply, but it seems that you're right. Lars
has also noticed it some time ago (January last year).
I don't know when this regression happened. It is a feature that is
used very little (only in Danish and German) and apparently it has no
tests at all.

Hi Bert,
I have just tested capsnocont with the attached table:
Text: foo bar foobar
Expected: f b fb
Tests ok
Text: Foo Bar Foobar
Expected: ,f ,b ,fb
Tests ok
Text: FOO BAR FOOBAR
Expected: ,,foo ,,bar ,,foobar
Actual: ,,f ,,b ,,fb
As far as I can see, capsnocont makes no difference at all.
Or have I misunderstood something?
Bue
