Bug ID: 57351
Summary: To add some basic djvulibre calls to API
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API

Djvu files, the main image+text multipage file used by wikisiurce projects, has
a very interesting txt layer but mediawiki can't access to it (but rough
extraction of puure text). Some new API actions, added both to Commons and to
Wikisource projects API, would allow to retrieve most interesting data from the
whole file or for selected pages. While reading functions are safe, writing
functions can be destructive, even if they could be very useful to advanced
users; so I think that first step would be to implement only read-only
functions.
djvutext (to read structured text in lisp-like syntax) and djvutoxml (to
extract structured text in xml) would be IMHO the first two routines to
implement.
