German term or phrase: Problems with connecting phrases
Dear community,

the following sentences should be translated into English:

"Dabei handelt es sich um eine typische Darstellungsform von Korpusanalysetools, bei welcher alle Textbelege angezeigt werden, die das Keyword enthalten. Dieses steht in der Regel im Zentrum und wird typographisch hervorgehoben."

So far I have built the following two versions and I like neither of them, because I don't think the reference is clear (that >the keyword< appears in the center)?! I guess I'm a bit slow today, so maybe someone could help with a better solution...

This is a typical display format of corpus analysis tools, showing all passages which contain the keyword generally appearing in the center and being typographically highlighted.

This is a typical display format of corpus analysis tools showing all passages which contain the keyword. It generally appears in the center and is typographically highlighted.

Explanation:
Much of the work is already done. But as Phil pointed out, the remaining problem is to find a smooth transition for the last segment..

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you two for suggesting another version of the sentence, however, I decided to choose "display format" because that's what I often found in secondary literature. Moreover, I wanted to avoid repeating the word "present" or "represent" (see previous sentence: The results are usually presented as concordances. This is a typical display format of corpus analysis tools ...). Would you still connect the sentences saying "This involves"? I'm always thankful for suggestions how to translate "es handelt sich um". Generally, a good version might be: "This is a typical display format of corpus analysis tools, which shows all passages containing the keyword in centered and highlighted fashion." ? To my German ears "fashion" sounds a bit irritating, but I'm sure a native speaker knows best. ;)
