I'm not sure to understand: what do you call the ".lp screen"? the =
source
of the program? If it's the case, you're using it the wrong way: you =
must
execute Html2Wml using a Perl interpreter. If you are under Windows,
you can use ActivePerl[1] which provides a complete Perl environment
for free. Then you'll have to install the modules needed by Html2Wml.
For what I know, this is very simple using the ppm command and =
installing
a new module is as simple as typing "install ModuleName".

Nearly all the packages needed by Html2Wml are already installed. The
only one missing is Text-Template. Launch "Perl Package Manager" and
type "install Text-Template".

Now go to the directory where you have extracted Html2Wml and type
"perl html2wml.cgi". If you get Html2Wml help screen, it works. Now you
can create a .bat file to simplify calling Html2Wml, for example (for=20
Win2k):

@echo off
c:\perl\bin\perl c:\path\to\html2wml.cgi %*


The file form.html is an example showing how to call Html2Wml as a CGI.
This require you to have a webserver with CGI support, for example=20
Apache[2].
You just have to drop Html2Wml in a cgi-bin directory and change the URL
in form.html accordingly. This is straighforward under Unix, but I don't=20=

know
under Windows.

[Html2wml] Regarding Html2Wml

[Damien L. <se4...@cs...>]

Hi there,

How are you today? I cannot seem to get the html2wml working.

I downloaded it and now I don't know what to do. I read he doc's but still I
don't know what to do. Do I type a command into the .pl screen, if so can you
tell me what? or do I use the form.html page and enter the url?

Please help

Thanks,
Damien

Hello,

What do you mean by the job of Html2Wml?
If you speak of the demo page, it's at
<http://html2wml.org/try.html.en> but as stated on
the page, the demo no longer work because the
SourceForge guys made some modifications on
the server that prevent the demo from working.

That's something I'm often asked, but I currently
have no other server where I can put the demo.
Sorry.

[Html2wml] Html2Wml version 0.4.8r2

[<mad...@fr...>]

Html2Wml version 0.4.8r2 is available.

There is nearly no difference with the 0.4.8, apart from a correction
in the Makefile (install didn't work) and the XML::LibXML validation
test has been removed in order to prevent the segfaults that could
occur.

[Html2wml] Html2Wml version 0.4.8 (plus info about 0.5)

[<mad...@fr...>]

Html2Wml version 0.4.8 is available.

There is not many differences since the version 0.4.8b3.
Mainly, this release indicates that the current code is quite
stable and good in terms of results. Out of the 153 HTML
pages used to test Html2Wml, less than 10 failed to produce
valid code (in the sense of WT wmlc). Some of the failures
seem to comes from limitations of Expat (on which is based
WT wmlc). The others are real Html2Wml issues. Particularly,
it seems that <br> inside <small> can produce extra <p>.

Currently, I don't have the time to work on that particular issue
for two reasons: first, I'd like to begin the dev on version 0.5
(more on that later), and second, my grand-mother died Sunday.


WHAT'S NEW (version 0.4.8)
     Many bugfixes and some small optimizations.
     Entities conversion has been improved. URLs are now correctly
     encoded. Warnings messages have been made more consistent.
     Security fix: accessing local files in CGI mode should now be
     completly impossible.

         http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D19711


ABOUT 0.5
     The current code has grown up since version 0.3 with no major
     redesign. As a result, it can produce average to quite good =
results,
     but the code is big and slow.
     Version 0.5 will be completly redesigned. The main word is=20
modularity.
     All the code specific to the CGI mode will be in one module, and =
the
     code for the shell mode in another. As a result, the code should be
     safer and faster.

[Html2wml] Html2Wml version 0.4.8b3

[<mad...@fr...>]

Html2Wml version 0.4.8 beta 3 is available.

Changes since version 0.4.7r2
     Special characters in URLs are correctly encoded.
     Unknown entities are now better handled: they are converted
     in order to keep the document valid.
     Paths in include actions can now be relative.


As it is a beta version, the archive is only available on my
web site:
     http://maddingue.free.fr/techie/download/Html2Wml/


Notes
     I now also use the HTML files found in the test directory
     of Gnome-XML (libxml2 2.4.10) to test the behaviour
     of Html2Wml with strange HTML files.
     Thus I currently have a hundred HTML files (either real
     pages or specially crafted) to make the tests. With the
     version 0.4.8b3, only one or two files from the Gnome-
     XML test suite fail (compared to about twenty with the
     version 0.4.7r2).
