Description

Changed:
<
<		 This tool aggregates texts/subtexts from different locations into a single text. The original texts can be from different locations, such as the internet or/and on your local machine. Aggregating subtexts requires all documents to share a common subtext tag, i.e. limiting the subtext to body requires all texts to have a <body> tag. The aggregator tool will grab the contents from the texts to form a single new text.

Note If you use this through the TAPoR portal you have to put something in the two source text boxes. You can choose "Text" and just enter a word or two in the text boxes.
