What to do: A Laout Recogition system for text selection has been added in okular recently. The task is to make a nice developer documentation about how the system works so that new developers can understand the concept easily.
There is a good document about how to implement a generator at: http://api.kde.org/4.7-api/kdegraphics-apidocs/okular/html/okular_generators.html . It might be a reference example on how to write a document for okular.
The Student should study the two methods correctTextOrder() and textArea ( TextSelection * sel) from textpage.cpp. There are necessary comments added in the code to understand. For a very thorough understanding of how the text selection system works, the student is referred to: http://nightcrawlerinshadow.wordpress.com/2011/08/20/advanced-text-selection-in-okular/.
Expected results: A good documentation to be included in kdegraphics api of okular.
