api.GetHocrText() returns malformed XML #26

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Control characters are inserted into the document, and XML parsers cannot 
handle it without first trying to strip them out. This problem was reportedly 
fixed in the main tesseract SVN a few days ago, and I think producing an update 
linked with SVN will fix it.

Using Python 2.7.3 under Windows 7 X64.

P.S. Are there any instructions for building from SVN with VS 2008? I see the 
binary under downloads but there's no information as for how it was generated. 
Just libtesseract et al wrapped with swig?

If u are trying to use Python 64Version, then the answer is negative. I am 
still working on how to compile tesseract-ocr into windows 64 bit version.

No; this is 32-bit python, and I have no interest in compiling/distributing 
anything exclusive to 64-bit machines. Apart from the occasional memory 
corruption from Tesseract and this issue, the package is working very well.

Since the current release of tesseract is   relatively old, compiling
svn might not compatible with python tesseract all the time. Anyhow, I
will look into it and come back to u ASAP.

Well done; that seems to have fixed it. I'm more than happy to help feed your 
coffee adiction. Do you accept PayPal?

Also, if you would be willing to pass on any instructions for getting the SWIG 
portion to build properly under VS2008 (once Tesseract itself is built) I'd be 
happy to update my own copies on my development machine. Thanks again for the 
quick fix!

Steve
