How it was made

The XML was generated by Claude for Grant Vergottini from the texts on the United Nations website. Each language is a complete document in one Akoma Ntoso document collection, including Arabic, which reads from right to left, and Chinese. Claude didn’t write a word of this text. It marked up the words of the original.
