> Hi,
> As the Ruta documentation mentions, "writing rules that contain a first rule element with an optional quantifier is discouraged and will result in ignoring the optional attribute of the quantifier." A solution for overcoming this is to declare a rule element as a starting rule element by adding “@” directly in front of it. Thus, I am using ruta rules like
> {code}
> Token??{REGEXP(Token.posTag.value, "At")} // Article
> Token??{REGEXP(Token.posTag.value, "Aj")} // Adjective
> @Token{REGEXP(Token.posTag.value, "No")->MARK(Chunk, 1,3)}; // Noun
> {code}
> to mark nouns and optional pre-modifiers before them as chunks
> However, the rule seems to match only Adj Noun sequences and not to match input like:
> {code}
> anArt|At anAdj|Aj aNoun|No
> {code}
> Thanks for looking into this.
