It's HTML with graphics.  So the only things which would need OCR would be
the schematics and the math, which would both be rather useless.  But having
looked at only one sample page, I can't really extrapolate much more than
this.  I think there will be reading order problems similar to those we see
in PDF files.  Each page of the magazine is a separate web page, so
continuations will be a challenge, also.

Hi Lloyd,

Thanks for this information.

Do you know which file format is used, and does it need to be run through an
ocr package to extract the text?

Thanks, John
