Thanks so much for looking into it and I am embarrassed that the xml contained junk - I did check for empty tags (but not on the `` node) and...

I would also like to do this for signal phrases such as "see also", "cf.", "on XXXX, see", "for ..., see" etc. which need to be discarded for reference parsing...

To understand the code better: how/where in the code are features and lables being connected? How would I set up a Feature and tell Wapiti that if I encounter "BVerfG"...

I guess what I want to say is that it would be great to have a hands-on documentation/tutorial on how to extend the current feature -> label -> normalizer workflow...

I totally agree that AnyStyle has an excellent design - I come from another library which was really hard to work with and really appreciate it! So the only missing...
