Hello,
I'm just wondering, would it be feasible to convert wiki text (without
OCR markup) back into OCR markup? A script might strip or convert
markup, diff the original OCR text with the wiki text to determine
what goes where, and generate the markup from scratch.
You could thus cleanly convert from OCR markup to wiki markup and back
without unreadable OCR markup on the wiki, and this could also be used
to provide some other very useful features (I would love to accurately
diff an entire Wikisource text with OCR scans of different printed
documents, for example).
