B D Finch Aug 5, 2015: @Abraham Good lateral thinking!
AbrahamS Aug 5, 2015: Scanning error? I am getting more and more convinced that the source text is faulty. If the previous line is a number, and this line is just "die can", it's possible that the original text was in fact "xx dia can", i.e. "bidon de diamètre xx"...
Florence Thierry Denison (asker) Aug 4, 2015: The line behind : Viltrol die unit the line above is a figure.
AbrahamS Aug 4, 2015: Item lines I am struggling to make any sense of the term in that context. Could you give us more of the source text? This item line, the one before and the one after, for instance. And the title of the list.
Florence Thierry Denison (asker) Aug 4, 2015: Yes i am sure, it is just a list of consumables.
B D Finch Aug 4, 2015: Context and parsing Are you sure that "can" is a noun and not a verb? What comes before and after this?
