Exercise 2: OCR Data Processing

Condition: there is a scanned document from 1930's. We used OCR to recognize texts on the document. Then, OCR output a "txt" file (i.e., a plain text file with no structure). We want to organize the messy texts into a structured format so it looks like an Excel file. We can do this using Python scripts.
Executing the code
1. Go to python/ex2/notebook/
2. Type jupyter notebook and hit enter.
3. The code is already there. Execute block by block using Shift + Enter
4. The output files will be saved in python/ex2/data/
5. Check the CSV file using Excel.
Exporting the code to a HTML file with Markdown-styled text.
1. Position your cursor in a block.
2. Try to insert a new block by clicking the Insert menu.
3. Change the new block's mode to Markdown.
4. Try to type Markdown wordings.
5. In the menu bar, click File -> Download as -> HTML
6. Open the downloaded file in your browser. It is a pure HTML file automatically generated from Jupyter Notebook. In this way, you can generate a Python-based styled document for web.
