Partial duplicates: Aeneid and a commentary
Text alignment is also used for finding groups of texts whose structure corresponds in other ways, such as works published in different languages, or texts and their commentaries. Here, for instance, we see an automatically generated alignment between the Latin text of Vergil's Aeneid and a commentary. The first bar depicts the first eight books of the Aeneid. The green in this first bar indicates the aligned portions, from which we can tell that the commentary only deals with the first three books of the Aeneid. The second bar depicts the commentary. Its green portions are brief passages from the text of the Aeneid, and the intervening red bars are the commentary, which does not align.
