Hi all,

I would like to ask if there is any way or configuration for the NE server to leave the text intact in the output.

I have some files that I want to run NER on, but they contain a lot of whitespace and punctuation. After running NER, the output has eliminated whitespace and added spaces between the punctuation marks.

After NER, I would like to know for every entity the offset (how many chars from the beginning of the original document it was recognized); that's why I want the document layout not changing.

For example, in the online demo, the text returned has the same layout with the original.

Is there any kind of configuration by which I could solve this?

Thank you in advance.

N.P.
