20150149893 | Multi-level List Detection Engine - A multi-level list detection engine. The multi-level list detection engine detects text obtained from a fixed format document that is formatted as a static multi-level list and creates a dynamic multi-level list object in a flow format document. The resulting dynamic multi-level list object automatically updates as the end user edits the multi-level list in the flow format document. The multi-level list detection engine identifies list elements in the fixed format text based on the presence of a list identifier. The list elements are grouped into lists based on the properties of each list element relative to other list elements. List elements are then assigned to a list level based on the relative properties of the list elements within a list. Finally, level list assignments are verified and corrected, the levels are merged, as necessary, and the lists are consistently formatted as appropriate to create a final well-formed dynamic multi-level list object. | 05-28-2015 |
