Fragment Highlighting

Highlighting is used to visually indicate when fragments, or topics, have been reused, and the level of similarity between fragments. Each of the highlighting colors can be changed in the Authoring memory tab in the user options.

There are four types of highlighting used:

• Reused topics: any topics that have been re-used in the library. Reused topics are any topics that have been embedded into a new container topic.
• Reused fragments: any text fragments that have been reused in the library. The text, punctuation, spaces, and styles are an identical match.
• Exact match between fragments: an exact match occurs when two fragments contain identical text. The match is based on the word comparison only, and ignores any differences in white space, capitalization, and punctuation.
• Fuzzy match between fragments: a fuzzy match occurs when the word comparison between two fragments is similar, but not identical. The minimum level of similarity for a match is set in the user options. Based on this setting, only those fragments that are equal to or are above the level of fuzzy match are displayed. Additional levels for fuzzy matching can be defined by the user.
