Xml Alto output

[Daniel-KM]

Hi,

I added an xml output for Alto (see https://www.loc.gov/standards/alto), the international standard to describe layouts and content of ocerized files. Some features may be added (like margins and styles), but the outputs are conform to the standard.

To test:

pdf2txt.py -t alto -o samples/Alto.alto.xml samples/Alto.pdf

or with a precision of 300 dpi:

pdf2txt.py -t alto -Z 300 -o samples/Alto.alto.xml samples/Alto.pdf

or in 10th of millimeters rather than pixels:

pdf2txt.py -t alto -U mm10 -o samples/Alto.alto.xml samples/Alto.pdf

Thank you for your work on this piece of code. I've noticed that the resulting XML isn't always valid. It seems that XML entities aren't escaped properly. Could you please fix that in your code? I'd like to do it myself, but Python isn't really my cup of tea...

Hi, for problems with pdf miner report the bug directly in https://github.com/euske/pdfminer/issues so that every developer on the project can check it out. Don't forget to write what file did you try to work on and what did go wrong. Greetings Tobias
