What are VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL Strategies
Strategy | Description |
"lines" | Use the page's graphical lines — including the sides of rectangle objects — as the borders of potential table-cells. |
"lines_strict" | Use the page's graphical lines — but not the sides of rectangle objects — as the borders of potential table-cells. |
"text" | For vertical_strategy: Deduce the (imaginary) lines that connect the left, right, or center of words on the page, and use those lines as the borders of potential table-cells. For horizontal_strategy, the same but using the tops of words. |
