We can only skip over text in our (ordered) sequences.

Depending on what the sequence is made up of (phrases, sentences, or paragraphs) will determine what the skip is going to skip over. For example, if we are using “Sequenced Across Sentences In Document” and we use a skip, then we will be skipping sentences (and each element, anchors or facts, will be required to be in individual sentences, in order).

How many elements (phrases, sentences or paragraphs) are skipped, is set by the skip count. That comes in two flavours: greedy and non-greedy. A greedy skip will skip the most elements it can that still satisfy the sequence - that is, it will find the longest valid sequence. A non-greedy skip will find the shortest valid sequence.

Skips can never be first or last in a sequenced extractor; you can have skips next to each other, however, as they will simply add up their counts to form a longer skip.

See Skipping text for additional information about using the skip concept class.
