Summary
The Sequenced Across Sentences In Paragraph(s) Context looks for sentences in order in the same paragraph.
They look for facts (and anchors) that are separated by specific gaps, called skips. How many skips can exist between the anchors and / or facts can be very precisely controlled at each point in the sequence.
The skips count in the same punctuation type as the rest of the sequence. That is, if the sequence type is paragraphs, then specifying a skip of 5 on such a sequence will result in a skip of up to or, at most 5 paragraphs being allowed between the preceding and succeeding elements.
Elements appearing in the same paragraph will not fire the context unless the Loose metadata attribute is set to On for the sequence.
- Sequenced Across Sentences in Paragraph(s) contexts are a subset of Sequenced Across Sentence(s) Contexts
- See Sequenced Across Sentences In Document for a worked example of Sequenced Across Contexts
Usage Notes
Use this context when the anchors and facts you are interested in are contained in sentences within sequential paragraphs. If you use the “loose” metadata attribute, the sequence will also look within the same paragraph for a fact and anchor. Note that the elements of this context must be listed in the correct sequence using the ORDERED LIST in the Narrower Concepts section.
