UNL documents are documents written in UNL. They are plain text files that include UNL Sentences and some special tags. They are the output of the enconversion process and the input of the deconversion process.

A UNL document is enclosed with tags “[D:<dinf>]” and “[/D]”. Within these tags, each paragraph is enclosed with a pair of tags “[P:<p_num>]” and “[/P]”, and each sentence is enclosed with a pair of tags “[S:<s_num>]” and “[/S]”. Inside a sentence, the text of original sentence is enclosed with “{org:<l_tag>}” and “{/org}”, its UNL expression is enclosed with “{unl:<uinf>}” and “{/unl}”. Sentences of target languages can also be stored in the UNL document. Each target sentence is enclosed with a pair of language tags “{<l_tag>}” and “{</l_tag>}” following the UNL expression of each sentence.
