Hello
I recently noticed the following detail in the generated files
results/match*.html: the two percentages that appear in the top right-hand side are always truncated to the nearest integer, so that the percentage in the top left-hand side (average similarity) does not seem to correspond to the average.Here is a screenshot that shows the issue.

This seems to be related to the functions
percentA()andpercentB()injplag/AllMatches.javathat should probably compute using floats rather than ints.
Here is another screenshot that shows the same example, if one applies the enclosed patch.

Kind regards.
