as aubrey: Thank you very much!
I shared these news at the Scriptorium of de.ws.
I also used the opportunity to inform them about your "Visualizzatore".
This is so cool!!!! (especially the search-function)
And because I had some time (and the best things come in threes) I invited
them to your it.WikiCon in Trento (
). Have
fun there! My best wishes to the organizers. I co-organized it three times
in a row for the all-German-Community....

Thanks Alex!
I really hope this is a direction where other developers will follow:
being able to harness the full potential of structured data from OCR
software is absolutely crucial for Wikisource:
we could actually automatize *a lot* of the formatting work now done by
volunteers, and their time could be spent still formatting, proofreading
and validating, but with much power than before.
IMO, it changes a lot if a book is formatted ~50% by a machine, we could
do much more books in less time.
Go Alex!

(in previous pages only some templates have been added and a little
bit of regex manipulation has be done)
Internet Archive _abbyy.gz files are gzipped, enormous xml files where
any detail of FineReader OCR output is exported - but, even if enormous and
terribly complex, they can be parsed and any detail (a little bit
painfully...) can be used; presently, only bold, italic, smallcaps and
paragraphs have been explored, translated into wiki code by a prettily
simple python code.
