Dear all, this is a service announcement: wiki2beamer is moving to github: https://github.com/wiki2beamer Please consider this mailinglist as deprecated. The entire sourceforge project will be retired somtime in 2019, so please start using the issue tracker over at Github from now on. Best wishes from your friendly maintainer, V- |

* Valentin Haenel <val...@gm...> [2013-05-30]: > https://github.com/esc/wiki2beamer/pull/8 > > unless there are no objections I'll add documentation and merge. So, the feature has been merged. However, I am unable to compile the manpage. The makefile specifies a tools 'docbook2man.pl' which I can not find in debian.

Dear all, since I seem to be the only one still actively servicing pull-requests and sourceforge issues I will proclaim myself current maintainer and add this to the readme. I hope this is OK for everyone involved. Also, the 0.9.5 release has very recently been uploaded to debian unstable thanks to Jan Hauke Rahm. best, V- |

Hi all, thanks to Sebastian Dyroff and Mario Blättermann (see the review bug [1]), wiki2beamer is now included in the official Fedora repositories, starting at Fedora 17. I've updated the website accordingly. kind regards, Kai [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851891 |

Hi, i recently discovered the pygements syntax highlighter which a friend of mine used in a LaTeX Beamer presentation. I wanted to include native support for this in w2b (pygments is also pythin), but it turns out i can't just "swap" the syntax highlighting "enigine" easily. Thus i hacked around a bit and am now using the minted package and putting the LaTeX code directly into my w2b file. If you are interested the code is in: https://github.com/esc/best-practices-talk Note: I also had to patch pygmentize script in order to the a custom theme (solarized.py) to work. I'm adding a feature request to the issue tracker for this: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3404724&group_id=195885&atid=955241 V- |

Hi, i recently put some w2b source on github and it was parsed automatically. Some stuff (wiki stuff) went well, some stuff (markup blocks) didn't go so well... : https://github.com/esc/best-practices-talk/blob/master/slides.wiki Its great though that the TOC was generated OOTB ;) V- |

> yes, but is there any reason, why <<<...>>> is not replaced by a > figure environment? When I include graphics in latex, I always use the > figure environment. Keeping the commands for "figures" and "graphics" separate (the way latex does) has more flexibility. In presentations, most graphics (e.g., clipart) are not figures in the latex sense. And it's not uncommon to include multiple graphics in a single figure environment. But I like Valentin's idea of making a new syntax for figure+graphic+caption, if that's a common use case for beamer. --Chris |

Hi, I discovered wiki2beamer today and so far I really like it. But I have problems with image filenames with multiple underscores, e.g. <<<../../SpinUp_test/echam/pdf/aprc_timmean_easy.pdf,width=1.1\textwidth>>> is replaced by \includegraphics{../../SpinUp\textcolor{test/echam/pdf/aprc}{timmean}easy.pdf} Shouldn't the text color format be ignored in the <<<...>>>? cheers, stefan |

Hi Valentin, Thank you for the clarification. I was expecting wiki2beamer to run interactively, for example like running sed or awk without input files. But now I see that the code was designed to read the entire input file at once. Your amendment looks good. Just a suggestion: you may want to reorder the sentences to make it easier to follow: "If called with multiple input files, wiki2beamer processes them in order with their content being simply concatenated. If called without any input file, wiki2beamer will attempt to read input from STDIN. If no input files are supplied and nothing is available on STDIN, wiki2beamer prints its usage message and exits." --Chris |

Hi Chris, Thanks for reporting this. * Chris Mayfield <csm...@gm...> [110530]: > Also, I noticed a couple minor typos in the manpage: > - "to ignore and" should be "to ignore an" check. > - "if called without any input file, wiki2beamer reads input from > STDIN" should be "returns an error" Not sure about this one. It's possible to pipe files and other stuff into w2b: zsh» cat bar '''bar''' zsh» echo "''foo''" | ./wiki2beamer bar \emph{foo} \textbf{bar} I have changed the doc to: If called without any input file, wiki2beamer will still read input from STDIN. If called with multiple input files, wiki2beamer reads and processes them in order with their content being simply concatenated. If no input files are supplied, and nothing is available on STDIN, wiki2beamer prints its usage message and exits. But in a sense you are right. If you call wiki2beamer, and nothing is available on STDIN it will bail out. Other programs will wait for input from the user. Do you think the above amendment makes it clear what happens or how the tool behaves? If you have an alternative suggestion, i'd be happy to include that. ;) I have commited both: http://wiki2beamer.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=wiki2beamer/wiki2beamer;a=commit;h=8bd881b5913dfceb57b6e9c9a1ccf1a23d5cce2e regards V- |

Hi Kai, Here is an updated version of the language spec. Simply place it under /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ (or ~/.local/share/...) and gedit will automatically highlight files with .wiki and .w2b extensions. I've tested it with the example.txt presentation and everything seems to be working. I am open to any suggestions or other feedback. Also, I noticed a couple minor typos in the manpage: - "to ignore and" should be "to ignore an" - "if called without any input file, wiki2beamer reads input from STDIN" should be "returns an error" --Chris > Hi Chris, > > for starters you could post it here on the list (please give it a > license, e.g. GPLv2 or later).

Hi Chris, for starters you could post it here on the list (please give it a license, e.g. GPLv2 or later). If it works, I'll put it in the next release.

That's indeed a good article, but it gets even worse when we talk python 2.4 or 2.3 compatibility They have different formal grammars. Python 2.6 and 2.7 support both the 2.3/4 syntax (print and except-as) but >3 and <2.4 only support their smaller subset. now, wiki2beamer is small enough to work on everything :) On 05/08/2011 08:47 PM, Fotis Georgatos wrote: > Hi Kai, > > On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 8:47 PM, Kai Dietrich <ma...@cl...> wrote: >> On 05/08/2011 07:12 PM, Kai Dietrich wrote: >>> I just hacked w2b to be compatible with python3k.

I just hacked w2b to be compatible with python3k. The w2b code now runs on python 2.4 up to 2.7 and now also 3.1 Without separating code into different source files we need to use the least common syntax supported by both 2.4 and 3.1 which excludes the following language constructs: print -- either you talk 2.4 (print as a keyword) or 3k (print as a function) we now have a simple pprint function that directly does a file.write() which works everywhere except Exception, e: -- on python 3k this has to be except Exception as e: as this causes an error on the parser level the only option is to avoid exceptions :/ To use these statements we would have to drop 2.4 support. For me this is not really an option as universities often run ancient versions and even RHEL5 has 2.4 as default. regards Kai |
