Word Types

When selecting which variants are to be output by a kid template element, you can filter by word type. The following word types are available

Single Word word types - these may be selected together using “SINGLEWORD”

• ACRONYM - at least two upper case letters, asterisks, periods or hyphens
• CODE - any combination of upper or lower case letters, digits or hyphens
• WORD - a set of lower case letters
• NOUN - a single upper case letter followed by one or more lower case letters, asterisks or hyphens

Multiple Word word types - these may be selected together using “MULTIWORD”

• ACROLIST - more than one acronym
• CODELIST - more than one code
• SENTENCE - more than one word
• PHRASE - more than one noun
• MIXED - more than one single word type of more than one type

Special cases

• EMPTY - no data present in the term
• UNKNOWN - any term that is not one of the above

It is possible to group these types together so that “WORD|CODE” means either a WORD or a CODE. It is also possible to remove a type from the set using the ^ character, so that “MULTIWORD|^ACROLIST” means any multiword type except for an ACROLIST.
