I have given a try to tesseract .... hocr on a couple of test pages. I understand the idea, but have the impression that the marked output contains far too many paragraphs (about each line is a paragraph) than I would expect. Are you perhaps aware of some config variable which sets a tolerance threshold?
Also, I don't know what to to to filter the hocr output to plain text + additional line break. I've looked in hocr-tools, hocr-as-no-html is listed as "possible", not even "planned". Do you have refs for the " hOCR-based tools can be used for Project Gutenberg" you mentioned?
