hOCR: Do common actions to multiple nodes.

[SantosSi]

E.g. mark more than 1 node and delete them or change their x_fsize resp. x_fsize of all contained ocrx_word nodes, all at once.

Deleting can be done. But changing properties of multiple arbitrary selected nodes can become very complex (say you select a word and a paragraph), and I'm really skeptical whether it is worth all the trouble. Is it really a common usecase, as opposed to just mass-changing the properties on the parent node?

[SantosSi]

There are use cases. My scanned pages always have too many lines with different font sizes. Setting the same font size to a whole page and then changing divergent nodes one by one is too time consuming. It's time saving to select all top level nodes to set the same font size for.

[manisandro]

It should be implementable to allow multi-editing of nodes of the same type. But beyond that it can get very complex.
