<p>A formula detection engine and associated method. The formula detection engine locates formulas within a fixed format document portion by identifying formula seeds. The formula detection engine creates and expands a boundary around the formula seed to define a formula area. To eliminate overlap with surrounding normal text, the formula area is divided into multiple formula areas based on vertical position and horizontal spacing between the formula elements. After being vertically ordered, horizontally overlapping formula areas are merged to reconstruct the formula as a flowable element.</p> |
