Vignette | Make clear that the name of attributes must comply with a specific naming convention #48

The vignette shows how to create CWB corpora with cwbtools. It should be made clear that the naming of attributes matters as they must comply with a specific naming convention. Regarding this, see the CWB documentation. Probably most importantly, attribute names must be lowercase. Otherwise attributes won't be encoded but dropped silently instead. The console output does not indicate that an attribute was skipped either.

Thus, an explicit reference to the naming conventions might be useful in the documentation.
