Description

Hello,

We are successfully using the RegexAnnotator, but would like to use variables in variables (see example below), is it currently possible?
If not, does anyone has a workaround or code?
If not, we will provide a patch.

Thanks, Renaud

  <variables>
    <variable name="volume_units" value="(?:k|d|m|M|µ)?(?:l|L|m3)" />
    <variable name="mass_units" value="(?:k|d|m|M|µ)?(?:g)" />
    <variable name="units" value="\v{mass_units}/\v{volume_units}" />
