[Dev-C++] HTML vs. Plain text

[<f5...@qs...>]

Hi Friends,

I am a newcomer to this ML, sri for this 1st comment which will be 
a "complaining" one : I have noticed that a lot of you are sending HTML mesgs 
to the ML. As it seems that the sourceforge.net as not (yet ?) implemented 
the "HTML remover tool" as on other MLs I know elsewhere, it would be fine if 
you turn OFF the HTML email on yours computers.
No need to explain why .. ;o)

Okay, here it comes again...
I'm going to close my eyes.

Perhaps the answer is to implement HTML or the remover tool on the server
rather than change the input. Capabilities should be increased rather than
restricted.

I had no problem with that. My brain parses it correctly. :)

Seriously guys, CHANGE SUBJECT!


Better, lets start a discussion on ANSI C 1999.

If you're willing to dig into the source code, implement it, and send a
patch, please go ahead and do it.

Honestly speaking, an engine swapping out html stuff doesn't sound
difficult. Simply you have an array of phrases to be removed (like
<HTML>) and check every word against it.


In a pseudocode C++ style:


vector<string>html;
string word;

// ...


do
{
 // read from file a word

 for(vector<string>::size_type i=0; i<html.size(); i++)
    if(word==html[i])
     {
      // replace word in file with ""
     }

}while(not eof);


This is my first thought. I guess we can optimise it more with binary
searching in html[] etc..

But i can't do it in ASP, or CGI etc yet. :)

Re: [Dev-C++] HTML vs. Plain text

[<f5...@qs...>]

Hello,

Why rewriting what already exists ??

Go, for example, on http://mailman.qth.net where you can subscribe to whatever
list you want. The server (the same kind of server as the one used here) has an
analyser which removes all HTML sentences.
Mesgs posted to this server and containing HTML will be forwarded to the
indended list, HTML part removed and then the readers will get the following
notice at the end of the mesg :

<<<
--- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts ---
multipart/alternative
  text/plain (text body -- kept)
  text/html
The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML
or had an attachment. Attachments are not allowed.
Please post in Plain-Text only.---
>>>

If there is only HTML in the mesg, then the rx mesg is empty, the note saying :
"HTML only, pse submit once agn, plain text only".

Here is a quoting from some info mesg coming from the "Guru" (Tim Miller
<tm...@ne...> ) there :

<<<
The stripmime is implemented as a simple filter. It reads the incoming message
one line at a time, and decides if it should keep or discard that line, based on
the current body section. If there is only one section, and that section is HTML
formatted, then it will remove the HTML tags and leave behind plaintext. It also
attempts to clean up quoted-printable text and turn it back into regular
plaintext. If the message is formatted as a MIME message with a
multipart/alternative of text/plain and text/html (this is how most rich text
email is sent) then stripmime only keeps the text/plain section.

If the message doesn't contain a text/plain section (or a top-level text/html
section) then stripmime throws out everything and appends a warning message
explaining what happened. It also prints a message when it removes or alters any
section so that the user knows what is going on.
