PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To process a special symbol in an ordinary form and to improve the processing result quality by converting the special symbol included in a document in a special form into an ordinary form equal to that of an output mode. SOLUTION: An input device 101 manages the text inputted via an input device such as a keyboard, etc., or the text stored in an external storage, stores the necessary text data in an input buffer 108 when the due processing is carried out, and transfers the text data to a special symbol conversion part 102 of the next stage. When a document having a tag is inputted, the part 102 decides whether a special symbol shown in a special form is included in a text based on the conversion data on the special symbol contained in a special symbol conversion table 109. If the special symbol is included in the text, the special symbol is converted into an ordinary form and outputted to a tag information extraction part 103. At the same time, the conversion data on the used special symbol of the table 109 are outputted and held at a special symbol information holding part 112. |
