The other way of using Dave Lee's class codes (less efficient than by filtering) is

 

1. In the main WordSmith Controller, choose | Settings | Adjust Settings | Tags.

2. Press Only if Containing.

 

 

3. In the window that opens up, type in the code corresponding to your category.

 

In this case, the code entered is >W fict prose<. The > and < are used to ensure that the search finds that code, since the context contains exactly that:

... <classCode scheme="DLee">W fict prose</classCode>

   <keywords><term> (none) </term></keywords>...

 

4. Press OK.

5. Now do your concordancing or word-listing.

 

What happens if the code you typed isn't in any of the texts?

 

Why then you get no words in your wordlist!
