Getting the hOCR/HTML switch should be quite straightforward, since PUMA_TOHTML and ROUT_FMT_HTML are only used in six different source files all together. > Have fun, patches and inspiration welcome, I see that you added line feeds after HTML tags to make the output easier to read. There is a preprocessor macro NEW_LINE for this. Yes, it is slightly brain-dead but should probably be used for consistency. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cuneiform Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cuneiform More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
