[CWB] Alignment format

[Alberto Simões]

Hello, Serge.

Thanks for the answer.

I know how to use easyalign and align a bitext.
In this case I have the sentence aligned bitext and want to add it to
CQP. Was hoping there was a simple textual file format I could use for
the alignment.

Unfortunately the document you suggested seems not to include that
information. Especially because the section on alignment attributes is
empty ;)

Thanks,
Alberto
