Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Running a transformation without the command line

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

If I understand what you're trying to do, I can think of several options:

1. You can use the Scripting stage to create a script that listens on a socket 
for a stream to appear and places it into the pipeline document for 
conversion

2. You can send an e-mail to the EmailScanner to get the document into 
Babeldoc for conversion

3. You can use the ExternalApplicationScanner to create your own program to 
accept the flatfile and feed it into Babeldoc.

I don't think it's a trivial task to tear out the flatfile coversion piece 
into a standalone class, but Bruce or Dejan can probably provide better 
insight if that's your intention.


Hope this helps,

David
