Summary

The notany() statement will match any character not in a given store.

Syntax

notany(storeName) + ... > ...

Parameters

storeName : The name of the store from which a match must be avoided.

Description

The notany() statement will match any character that is not in the store referenced by storeName. The notany() statement is only valid in the context part of a rule.

The notany() statement cannot be together with an index() statement, but can be used with the context statement.

The notany() statement does not match when there is no character at that position in the context (e.g. at the start of a document). To match this, use the nul statement.

Examples

Use notany() to prevent diacritics being applied to punctuation:

notany(punctuation) + any(diacriticKey) > context(1) index(diacritic,2)
