What Andrew suggested was to just insert start tags

	<inf id="E">

without any end tags and make sure you encode without recursion specifier, i.e. with

	-S inf+id

rather than "-S inf:0+id".  CWB will automatically close the XML element when it encounters the next start tag.  The resulting regions are completely meaningless, of course, but that's fine if you just visualise the start tags.

This is actually a fairly good idea, as you can also use them in CQP queries (again without end tags):

	… <inf_id="E"> […] …;

Best,
