Hi,

I must admit that I did not realize that this is an example from the
documentation. This is either a good sign that there are many examples
or a bad one that I do not even know what is documented... I am afraid
that this is not the last error in the documentation, but we work on
improving it steadily.

Thanks for poiting it out! I fixed it :-)

Best,

Peter

What I expected was that the first rule finds "Alexanderplatz" and stores the  first nine letters of it in the string list sl so that the last line can annotate "Alexander" with "Test". In reality, however, nothing happens. I get no error message, but after execution, there is no "Test" annotation.
