eBookFormatter Description

Open source application that will help you format ebooks any way you want eBookFormatter is a program dedicated to the task of fixing those pesky formatting issues present in a great deal of online text documents, eBooks in RTF or text format, OCR created documents and files converted from PDFs, as well as anything similar in form.eBookFormatter will allow you to convert RTF to plain text for editing (if you don't have an RTF editor, or just like plain text better), and provide many features related to the resulting text.Perhaps you used an OCR on a PDF document, and the result was a text file with a line terminator (a newline, carriage return, or both) at the end of every line, preventing you from using formats like justification. eBookFormatter will strip them away, leaving the text only terminated at the end of each paragraph.eBookFormatter also includes a sophisticated method of detecting paragraphs, which is approximately 95% accurate in typical text documents, the ability to correct common errors produced by OCR, and much more.Here are some key features of "eBookFormatter":· Sophisticated paragraph detection algorithm - Creates easy to follow paragraph setup: A single blank line seperates paragraphs and the first line of each is indented.· Correction of simple OCR related mistakes· erratic ellipses (...)· Sentence spacing issues· Seperation of dialog segments based on quote locations· Removal of extraneous blank lines· Detection of numerated lists· Removal of inter-paragraph newlines to allow for easy formatting (like justification)· Removal of RTF formatting, resulting in plain text version· Switch-based command line interface for easy option choosing· Modulaized features, allowing you complete control over what formatting is preformed· Built-in testSuite, so you can see for yourself that it's working correctly What's New in This Release: · Fleshed out the testSuite function and moved it to it's own file (no change in the way that it's invoked) · Added a css stylesheet that the HTML output option of the testSuite uses · Fixed many many bugs for functions 4, 5, and 6. · Modified the numbered list detection to accept leading spaces
