-----------------------------------
Thanks Tim. I know that option and am using it but issue with hocr is that
sometimes the y co-ordinate donot match for the words on the same line. So the
TXT format can be used as extra info instead of writing code to predict the
words on same line.
Moreover many users can simply use TXT format with space info for simple and
straight forward usecases instead of writing code to parse HOCR output. Simple
user friendly.
> Add "preserve_interword_spaces" option of tesseract
