Abstract

One or more processors determine whether a metadata is included in a body of content. In response to a determination that the metadata is included in a body of content, one or more processors determine whether the metadata indicates that multimedia content is included in the body of content. In response a determination that the metadata indicates multimedia content is included in the body of content, one or more processors associate an indicator with a page of the body of content that includes that multimedia content, which indicates that the page includes that multimedia content.

Claims

1. A method for indicating the presence of multimedia content, the method comprising:

determining, by one or more processors, whether a metadata is included in a body of content;

responsive to a determination that the metadata is included in a body of content, determining, by one or more processors, whether the metadata indicates that multimedia content is included in the body of content; and

responsive to a determination that the meta data indicates multimedia content is included in the body of content, associating, by one or more processors, an indicator with a page of the body of content that includes that multimedia content, which indicates that the page includes that multimedia content.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining, by one or more processors;

whether a metadata is included in a body of content further comprises;

scanning, by one or more processors, the body of content prior to a pagination operation being performed on the body of content, wherein the scanning only traverses content that is contributed by participants of the body of content.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining, by one or more processors, whether the metadata indicates multimedia content is included in the body of content further comprises:

comparing, by one or more processors, a content included in the body of content with a set of references, wherein a match between the content and an entry in the set of references indicates the presence of multimedia content.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the set of references is updated on a predetermined schedule such that entries for a plurality of types of multimedia content are maintained such that a comparison between the content included in the body of content with such entries results in the identification of multimedia content included in the body of content.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining, by one or more processors, whether the metadata indicates multimedia content is included in the body of content further comprises:

determining, by one or more processors, whether one or both of a link or an embedded element that are included in the body of content include a multimedia element.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of associating, by one or more processors, an indicator with a page of the body of content that includes that multimedia content, which indicates that the page includes that multimedia content, further comprises:

modifying, by one or more processors, an indicia of pagination such that a type of multimedia content included the page is indicated using a visible cue.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the visible cue is displayed such that an amount time required to complete a search for multimedia content is reduced, and wherein the search is conducted by a user of the body of content.

8. A computer program product for indicating the presence of multimedia content, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions to perform a method, the method comprising;

determining, by one or more processors, whether a metadata is included in a body of content;

responsive to a determination that the metadata is included in a body of content, determining, by one or more processors, whether the metadata indicates that multimedia content is included in the body of content; and

responsive to a determination that the metadata indicates multimedia content is included in the body of content, associating, by one or more processors, an indicator with a page of the body of content that includes that multimedia content, which indicates that the page includes that multimedia content.
