Abstract
An anchor-based automatic link generator generates a link between elements in a text image. An anchor specifies an element to be linked and includes at least a key portion for specifying a type of an element and a reference portion for specifying a reference number of the specified type. Such links associate a legend for a figure with a corresponding main text as well as a figure with a corresponding text and or a legend even if there is no legend associated with a figure.
