Toc

The first method aims at parsing the ToC page so as to segment it into entries, each entry being formed by a label and a reference to a page number.

Fig.11 shows the ToC structure of a book which can be departed into following seven layers: (1) book title (BT); (2) chapter (CH); (3) subchapter (SC); (4) paragraph (PH); (5) page (PG); (6) sentence (ST); and (7) words (WD).

The complete ToC can complement the syllabus of “Software Testing,” if students were introduced to programming their freshman year with the help of Python.

The process of manually building the ToC of a book is very time-consuming.
