HTRVX : HTR Validation for eXtra-quality controlled documents

HTRVX - pronounced Ashterux - allows for quality control of XML using XSD schema validation, Segmonto validation and other verifications.

How to install

Simply run pip install htrvx

How to run

The basic way to run the script is htrvx PATHTOFILES --format FORMAT, eg. htrvx ./tests/test_data/page/*.xml --format page

Each verification is an opt-in verification: you need to express the fact that you want to check it.

• --segmonto will check for Segmonto compliancy
  • You can use your own vocabulary or a restricted Segmonto vocabulary by using --zone ZONENAME and --line LINENAME such as htrvx [...] --line DefaultLine --line HeadingLine --zone MainZone
  • You can use --allow-untagged with either line, zone or both so that zones without type are allowed. If you want to limit such lines or zone, combine it with --max-untagged-zones N or --max-untagged-lines N where N is the number of allowed occurrences.
• --xsd will check if the data are compliant with XML Schemas
• --check-empty will check if regions have no lines or if lines have no text
  • --check-empty can be refined with --raise-empty to throw an error if empty elements are found, otherwise it's simply reported. = --check-image checks for link in the XML. Link are checked relatively to the XML file, ie. if XML file ./data/element.xml points to file.jpeg, file ./data/file.jpeg is expected to exist.

Other parameters mainly have to do with verbosity: --verbose displays details about errors, --group groups errors (instead of showing one line per error, groups by error types).

Verbosity levels

• minimal: shows only failing tests, no details.
• low: shows only failing test and their details, such as which lines fails in a file.
• zen (default): shows all tests and their details, but displays only one color (red for errors).
• all: shows everything.

Github Action code

If you want to add this to your github repository, as a continuous integration workflow, add a file htrux.yml at in the path .github/workflows of your repository.

# This workflow will install Python dependencies, run tests and lint with a single version of Python
