[topicmapmail] tagging vs topics

| What I'm confused about is this: I can point a topic to a URL,
| that's all fine and dandy, but what if I want to point a topic to a
| sentence in an article, or just one word. Something like, say in a
| newsrelease:
| 
| "<topic id="1937529">Microsoft</topic> declared today that ..."

What do you mean when you say "point a topic to..." in this case? Do
you mean how to make that particular sentence an occurrence of the
Microsoft topic? Well, you can do that by using a URL with a fragment
reference: file://something/something/file.xml#1937529 [1]

Then you would have pointed to the <topic> element, but it's not
really all that useful, I think.

It would help if you could explain what it is you really want.

[1] Your ID is syntactically incorrect. It has to begin with a letter.
