There is already some level of support for a notion of contract parsing. An example can be found in the copyright-license template here:
https://github.com/accordproject/cicero/tree/master/packages/cicero-core/test/data/copyright-license

The relevant part looks as follow:

... // Beginning of the contract
2. Copyright Notices. Licensee shall ensure that its use of the Work is marked with the appropriate copyright notices specified by Licensor in a reasonably prominent position in the order and manner provided by Licensor. Licensee shall abide by the copyright laws and what are considered to be sound practices for copyright notice provisions in the Territory. Licensee shall not use any copyright notices that conflict with, confuse, or negate the notices Licensor provides and requires hereunder.

3. [{#paymentClause}]Payment. As consideration in full for the rights granted herein, Licensee shall pay Licensor a one-time fee in the amount of [{amountText}] ([{amount}]) upon execution of this Agreement, payable as follows: [{paymentProcedure}]. [{/paymentClause}] 

4. General.
... // End of the contract

With a clause paymentClause nested within the contract.

Hi all, we have a particular use case in our project. We want to build an accord contract with predefined types of clause, say an abstract general terms clause, an abstract payment clause and an abstract recess clause. We want then a user can compose the contract selecting clauses from a list, each clauses being marked with its own typology. Is this possible at the moment or will be possible in future? Thanks.

Hi @MartaCeprini - yes you could build something like that using the ContractEditor component and the Library component. It would require application specific code to track which type of clause should/could be inserted into different parts of the markdown document.

We hope to extend the concept of a contract template with these some of these concepts in the future, but we are some way off that right now.
