Erasure Marker Double Slash Detector
Detect double-slash erasure (rasura) markers in a transcription, defined as runs of at least two forward or backward slashes, reporting run count, start positions, and the longest slash run.

How Erasure Marker Double Slash Detector works
Detect double-slash erasure (rasura) markers in a transcription, defined as runs of at least two forward or backward slashes, reporting run count, start positions, and the longest slash run. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Markers
- Number of erasure marker runs.
- Positions
- Zero-based start position of each run.
- Longest run
- Length of the longest slash run.
Limitations and assumptions
- Corpus references, formula detectors, measurements, and classifiers depend on the edition, language, script, abbreviation practice, text normalization, and preservation state. Automated output should remain linked to the diplomatic transcription and image evidence.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.
