Is there a minimal writer example available?
I want to write a minimal HTML writer that can produce non-stylesheet
documents that are conformant to the O'Reilly devcenter article
specification.
This seems like a *really* easy writer to create and would make a very
good example of how to write a minimal, relatively stupid, writer. I
just have no freakin' clue how to get the basic writer up and running
in a fashion to get to this point. The jump from pseudoxml to
html2css1 is to large for me to efficiently figure out where I fall in
between.
Specifically, the requirements are as follows.
---
- comply with XHTML; <br/> for break, close all tags, lower case,
etc...
<h2></h2>: Headline
<h3></h3>: Subheading
ul, li, ol: for unordered and ordered lists
<p></p>: for all paragraphs
Standard <a..> and <img..> for all hyperlinking and images,
respectively.
<pre> and <code> are used for examples and code. CODE should be 50
characters wide or less. Images no larger than 450 pixels wide.
---
Obviously, if such a writer were to exist, a bunch of free publicity in
the form of an O'Reilly article discussing authoring O'Reilly articles
using DocUtils is a possibility... :-)
thanks,
b.bum
