Description
Currently, DocStripper removes common header/footer patterns, but there are many more patterns used in documents that could be detected and removed.
Use Case
Users working with documents from different sources encounter various header/footer formats that aren't currently detected.
Proposed Solution
Expand the pattern matching in DocStripper class to support:
- More language variations (French, German, Chinese, etc.)
- Date-based headers/footers
- Custom pattern matching
- User-defined patterns (future enhancement)
Files to Modify
docs/assets/app.js - DocStripper classtool.py - Python CLI version
Examples of Patterns to Add
Seite X von Y (German)Page X sur Y (French)第 X 页，共 Y 页 (Chinese)- Date patterns:
2025-10-31, 31/10/2025
Impact
- Who benefits: Users working with multilingual documents
