public ACEParserResult getMultiOutput(String text,
                             Lexicon lexicon,
                             OutputType... outputTypes)

Description copied from class: ACEParser

Returns multiple outputs for the given ACE text using the given lexicon. See the enumeration OutputType for further information about the possible outputs. The result is returned as an ACEParserResult object.

Specified by:

getMultiOutput in class ACEParser

Parameters:

text - The ACE text to be parsed.

lexicon - The lexicon to be loaded.

outputTypes - The kind of outputs that should be returned.

Returns:

A ParserResult object containing the outputs.
