Converting hOCR to Alto
See original GitHub issueHi, first thanks for making this tool.
I have questions using the GUI to convert hOCR to Alto XML.
My hOCR file looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<span class='ocrx_word' id='word_6_0' title='bbox 1040 187 1110 218'>1938</span>
</span>
But the ALTO output from the GUI gives me two xml files, which look like this:
<alto xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/standards/alto/ns-v2#"

I’ve not worked with ALTO formats before, but I’m thinking it shouldn’t look like this? Please let me know what you think, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, you found another bug. 😃 The patch mentioned above by @zuphilip lacks opening
<xsl:choose>tags here and here. If you are in a hurry you can modify the file inside the docker container by hand (in/usr/local/share/ocr-fileformat/xslt/).Closing this issue because of inactivity. If the problem remains, then feel free to reopen it.
