#1 HTMLConverter

[Gadenz Alex]

Hi,
I've found that webcat contains everything to convert
"something" to HTML but does not provide the right
interface for that task. (I know that's not the target
of the project but a nice feature easy to provide)
I've attached a first version of a class called
HTMLConverter doing this.
Maybe it would be a good idea to use it inside the
class WebCAT.
Maybe it would be a good idea to move the configuration
of the converters from the static block to a properties
files.

The task of the inner class ConverterWrapper would be
much more easier if all the converters would implement
one Interface containing a method "String
convertToHTML( InputString )" or even better "void
convertToHTML( InputStream, OutputStream )".

Feel free to include the class in your project (in your
package hierarchy).

Regards,

Alex

You said you had attached a class called HTMLConverter. But
I don't see any attachements. Could you please add this
file? We were already using webcat in a metadata generation
framework. But a conversion to html would be a good basis
for our digital preservation framework for our digital
repository.

Kind regards,

Ben

Thank you for this class.

I have tried it and I have a remark:

It seems that no html-breaks (<br>) are generated. There are
enters in the source code, but maybe these should be
converted to <br>.
I don't know whether these changes should be done in your
class or the webcat package. But the result would be much
better if it included breaks.

Kind regards,

Ben

You're right. I've done that in a quick hack on my machine.
'Cause the owner of the project has not contacted me I'm not
able to make these changes available for the community. :-((
