Is it possible to import documents that were pre-coded through other means and have MaxQDA 24 recognize the coded segments automatically? What would be the syntax of the "pre-codes" to use in this case? Thanks for your reply.

Hi Bartolomeo,
Thank you for your inquiry.
It depends on which other means you are referring to. However, the short answer is YES.
Yes, it is possible to import documents that were pre-coded through other means into MAXQDA 24, and the software can recognize the coded segments automatically using a specific syntax.
To pre-code text segments during import, you should use the following syntax:
1. Start each segment with `#TEXT` followed by the document name.
2. Use `#CODE` to indicate the beginning of a coded segment and `#ENDCODE` to mark its end.
For example:
#TEXT DocumentName
#CODE CodeName
This is the text that is coded.
#ENDCODE
You can also use subcodes with the syntax `#CODE CodeName\SubcodeName`.
Make sure to follow these rules to ensure proper recognition of the coded segments during the import process.
Let me know if you have any other questions, please!
Kind regards, Khaled
