Other than the few settings you can set on the dialog that is displayed to tweak its behaviour, you can only change the algorithm by altering the Calibre source code. |

If the algorithm is directly implemented in the code then little can be done. The problem is that the algorithm only seems to work well with English documents, in French for example works pretty bad. |

I wonder whether there is an 'algorithm' as such, beyond what's required to implement the various selectable options available in the dialogue, and as is documented here ==>> http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conv...tic-processing Quote:

Pretty much all of the heuristic options are a series of regular expressions that detect and change specific patterns. All of the developers who have worked on heuristic processing (including myself) either speak English as their primary or only language so it's understandable that it's English centric. Though some aren't necessarily language specific.
