@kiku-jw

Description

Currently, DocStripper removes common header/footer patterns, but there are many more patterns used in documents that could be detected and removed.

Use Case

Users working with documents from different sources encounter various header/footer formats that aren't currently detected.

Proposed Solution

Expand the pattern matching in DocStripper class to support:

  • More language variations (French, German, Chinese, etc.)
  • Date-based headers/footers
  • Custom pattern matching
  • User-defined patterns (future enhancement)

Files to Modify

  • docs/assets/app.js - DocStripper class
  • tool.py - Python CLI version

Examples of Patterns to Add

  • Seite X von Y (German)
  • Page X sur Y (French)
  • 第 X 页,共 Y 页 (Chinese)
  • Date patterns: 2025-10-31, 31/10/2025

Impact

  • Who benefits: Users working with multilingual documents
  • Priority: Medium
  • Complexity: Low-Medium
