-\section{Internals of the crawler generation module}
-Data marked by the user is in principle just raw html data that contains a
-table with for every RSS feed entry a table row. Within the html the code
-several markers are placed to make the parsing more easy and removing the need
-of an advanced HTML parser. When the user presses submit a http POST request is
-prepared to send all the gathered data to the backend to get processed. The
-sending does not happen asynchronously, so the user has to wait for the data to
-be processed. Because of the sychronous data transmission the user is notified
-immediatly when the crawler is succesfully added. The data preparation that
-makes the backend able to process it is all done on the user side using
-Javascript. 
-
-When the backend receives the http POST data it saves all the raw data and the
-data from the information fields. The raw data is processed line by line to
-extract the entries that contain user markings. The entries containing user
-markings are stripped from all html while creating an data structure that
-contains the locations of the markings and the original text. All data is
-stored, for example also the entries without user data, but not all data is
-processed. The storage of, at first sight, useless data is done because later
-when the crawlers needs editing the old data can be used to update the crawler.
-
-When the entries are isolated and processed they are converted to node-lists. A
-node-list is a literal list of words where a word is interpreted in the
-broadest sense, meaning that a word can be a character, a single byte, a string
-or basically anything. These node-lists are in this case the original entry
-string where all the user markers are replaced by single nodes. As an example
-lets take the following entry and its corresponding node-list assuming that the
-user marked the time, title and date correctly. Markers are visualized by
-enclosing the name of the marker in angle brackets.
-\begin{flushleft}
-	Entry: \texttt{19:00, 2014-11-12 - Foobar}\\
-	Node-list: \texttt{['<time>', ',', ' ', '<date>', ' ', '-', ' ', '<title>']}
-\end{flushleft}
-
-The last step is when the entries with markers are then processed to build
-node-lists. Node-lists are basically lists of words that, when concatenated,
-form the original entry. A word isn't a word in the linguistic sense. A word
-can be one letter or a category. The node-list is generated by putting all the
-separate characters one by one in the list and when a user marking is
-encountered, this marking is translated to the category code and that code is
-then added as a word. The nodelists are then sent to the actual algorithm to be
-converted to a graph representation.

-\section{Minimizing DAWGs}
+\section{HTML data}
+Data marked by the user will be returned as a \texttt{POST} http request and is
+basically the information in the description fields accompanied by the raw html
+of the table with the patterns. For every RSS feed entry there is a row in the
+table and every marker is a \texttt{SPAN} element containing the color of the
+text. Within the HTML code of the table markers are placed to make parsing more
+easy and remove the need of an advanced HTML parser. The \texttt{POST} request
+that will be send when the user presses the submit button will not be sent
+asynchronously, the user has to wait for the processing to finish. Because of
+this the user will be immediately notified when the processing has finished
+successfully. The preparation of the data for the \texttt{POST} request is all
+done in Javascript on the user side, the processing of the data in the backend
+is all done server side.
+
+\section{Table rows}
+When the backend receives the HTTP POST data it saves all the table HTML data and the
+data from the description fields. The program first extracts the table rows
+using simple pattern matching on the added markers. The table rows are
+processed one at the time, the processing mainly consists of finding the
+\texttt{SPAN} elements, extract the color, remove the elements and save the
+plain text and the location and type of the marking. When the table rows are
+processed a datastructure with all the entries accompanied by their markers
+will go to the next step. All intermediate data will be saved for later use.
+
+\section{Node lists}
+Every entry from the datastructure is processed to convert them to node-lists.
+A node-list can be seen as a path graph of every character and marking. A path
+graph $G$ is defined as $G=(V,n_1,E,n_i)$ where $V=\{n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_{i-1}, n_i\}$
+and $E=\{(n_1, n_2), (n_2, n_3), ... (n_{i-1}, n_{i})\}$. A path graph is
+basically a graph that is a path of nodes where every node is connected to the
+next on and the last on being final. The transitions between two nodes is
+either a character or a marking. As an example we take the entry
+\texttt{19:00, 2014-11-12 - Foobar} and create the corresponding node-lists and
+make it visible in Figure~\ref{nodelistexample}. Characters are denoted with
+single quotes, spaces with an underscore and markers with angle brackets.

 \subsection{Datastructure}
 We represent the user generated patterns as DAWGs by converting the node-lists
-to DAWGS. Normally DAWGs have as edgelabels letters from an alphabet, in our
-case the DAWGs alphabet contains all letters, whitespace and punctuation but
-also the specified user markers which can be multiple characters in length.
-
-DAWGs are graphs but due to the constraints we can check if a match occurs by
-checking if a path exists that creates the word by concatenating all the edge
-labels. The first algorithm to
-generate DAWGs from words was proposed by Hopcroft et
-al\cite{Hopcroft1971}. It is an incremental approach in generating the graph.
-Meaning that entry by entry the graph will be expanded. Hopcrofts algorithm has
-the constraint of lexicographical ordering. Later on Daciuk et
-al.\cite{Daciuk2000} improved on the original algorithm and their algorithm is
-the algorithm we used to minimize our DAWGs. A minimal graph is a graph $G$ for
-which there is no graph $G'$ that has less paths and $\mathcal{L}(G)=\mathcal{L
-}(G')$ where $\mathcal{L}(G)$ is the set of all words present in the DAWG.
