    doc (Doc): The document that the entity offsets refer to. The output tags
        will refer to the token boundaries within the document.
    entities (iterable): A sequence of `(start, end, label)` triples. `start`
        and `end` should be character-offset integers denoting the slice into
        the original string.
    missing (str): The label used for missing values, e.g. if tokenization
        doesn’t align with the entity offsets. Defaults to "O".
    RETURNS (list): A list of unicode strings, describing the tags. Each tag
        string will be of the form either "", "O" or "{action}-{label}", where
        action is one of "B", "I", "L", "U". The missing label is used where the
        entity offsets don't align with the tokenization in the `Doc` object.
        The training algorithm will view these as missing values. "O" denotes a
        non-entity token. "B" denotes the beginning of a multi-token entity,
        "I" the inside of an entity of three or more tokens, and "L" the end
        of an entity of two or more tokens. "U" denotes a single-token entity.
