[CWB] Display options for structural attributes

[Yannick Versley]

Lukas,

as far as I know, using "show +story_num" would do exactly what
you describe, considering the cwb_encode line you give.
e.g.:
no corpus]> TUEBA4 ;
TUEBA4> show +text_id ;
TUEBA4> "Veruntreute" ;
        0:                           <<text_id T990507.2>Veruntreute>
die AWO Spendengeld ? St

(Maybe I misunderstood you and you meant the kind of postprocessing where you
would need half a dozen lines of Perl and CWB::CL. Sorry in that case.)

Best,
Yannick
