Thx. I tried your patch in rev 581, and on my test page it worked like I expected only if I cropped the image very close to the left text margin. With a larger margin, a line break is inserted at every line. It may well have to do with the changed behavior you mention, and might be reflected in the (unpatched) hocr output I've seen. I used a scanned book image as test, so it may also be that image dirt in the left margin fools the layout detection, but I think it is less likely.
Also, I realize that for PG I would like a blank line as well between unindented paragraphs, if there is white space between them (thought breaks) - but that is not what I asked in the first place.
