The CWB encoding tutorial was not designed with CQPweb in mind!

Hm, that's a bit inconvenient, isn't it?

I guess we should provide updates of the sample corpora with extra <text id="..."> attributes and a corresponding metadata table, so people can easily take CQPweb for a test drive.  Or is there some other public demo corpus for use with CQPweb?

Andrew, would it be possible for you to document installation of the DICKENS corpus in CQPweb somewhere as a tutorial?  Perhaps as part of the HTML docs that come with CQPweb?

I can provide an updated version of the corpus within the next few days if necessary.

Best,
Stefan
