Abstract

The authors consider the construction of hypertext from scanned paper material. They consider textual links as well as text-figure and text-figure label links. This process of hypertext creation encompasses a number of document structures and methods for going from one document representation to the other. These are described and exemplified by a case study of turning a manual into an electronic hypertext book. They further discuss the Netscape based interface to the system. The hypermanual considered in the paper is accessible through their Web page
