RE: [Wh2fo-devel] [Error] Error in XSL Processor

[Giannetti, F. <Fab...@hp...>]

Hi Matthias,
	I haven't encountered any problems with transforming and render the
example that you send to me (please, see the attach).
I think you are using an old version of FOP.
The new WH2FO is *finally* compliant with the REC, so you must use FOP
0.20.3 or greather.
Hope this helps,
Fabio

RE: [Wh2fo-devel] Word Versions

[Giannetti, F. <Fab...@hp...>]

Hi,
	there are some differences, I believe, but I don't have Word 2002,
so I haven't try it.
It will be interesting to create examples similar to the existing ones =
with
Word 2002 and compare the HTMLs to see the differences.
Somebody is interested to do such a job ?

[Wh2fo-devel] WH2FO

[Louis C. <lou...@ya...>]

Hello,

I have tried WH2FO and it seems to be exactly what I need.

There's one thing I can't get to do, though. I would like to
- use Word 2000 for editing a template/stylesheet
- link the template to an external (generic) XML data file.

For example, I could need to create an invoice template, which I could 
use with different Client files (XML files).

I thought of different ways to do it:
-insert some kind of link to a specific tag of the xml file INSIDE WORD.
-writing a small application that would edit the xml file generated by 
WH2FO and changes values in it. This is some kind of merge of the 2 xml 
files (one generated by wh2fo, one with my client data).
-...

Can anybody help me with this...?

Many thanks,

Louis

[Wh2fo-devel] Re: XML Foundry

[<enr...@gm...>]

Hi Fabio,

I've just inquired to sourceforge (before I've read your mail) about how
much work it is to support a foundry.

I think a lisp macro for Emacs would be good to. - It ist well used on
Unix/Linux.

I thought about conversion tool which covers all some time earlier too. I
think it is a great improvement for all of us.

As I have read wh2fo creates a xml and a xsl file while I am generating one
file which contains everything. How does the splitting work?

[Wh2fo-devel] Re: Triggering WH2FO from inside Word(R)

[<enr...@gm...>]

Hi Fabio,

I think the macro should run on both versions - if not, it wouldn't be to
difficult to port it to w2000 and release both.

> because WH2FO doesn't work correctly with Word 97 because the format is
> different (there are less information inside the produced HTML ...)
thats not all... word 97 makes stuff like ... 
<a><b></a></b>
thats why I am using staroffice to export from wordfiles to html. there ist
also more layout information in the html code.

Could this be a new project on Sourceforge supporting several macros for
further word processors like StarOffice, Lotus WordPro, KWord, emacs etc...

What about opening a XML Foundry on Sourceforge? I don't know how much work
it is to support a Foundry.

Have a nice day

Enrico

Hi Enrico,
	thanks for your answer ! I saw your project and I think there are
strict communalities with WH2FO. It will be very usefull to have a =
macro/VBA
that will be able to save the document as HTML and then call one of the
converters. Do you think that it will work also under Word 2K ? I ask =
this
because WH2FO doesn't work correctly with Word 97 because the format is
different (there are less information inside the produced HTML ...)

Would you think it a good idea to write a VB for Word(R) which:
1) Finds out the path/name of the active file
2) Automatically triggers WH2FO to transform the Word file

As an extension of this idea, would you consider it useful to insert into
the Word(R) menu a series of commands such as:
- Generate XHTML file
- Generate XML file
- Extract XSL file
- Generate XML and XSL files

When I have nice running version i'll update the cvs, under

[Wh2fo-devel] New WH2FO parser

[Giannetti, F. <Fab...@hp...>]

Hi chaps,
	I have modified the WH2FO parser, now we have a tokenizer parser !!!
This will semplify the parsing and will provide more robustness to WH2FO.
I'm quite confident now that it will be possible to parse more complex
documents, I'd like to find out some good examples that will reproduce
documents commonly used (every help welcome), just to show that WH2FO could
be used in a production environment (I think Matthias will be happy to have
something new to test :-)).
Carlos - how your servlet is going ? have you resolved your problems ?
Nachev - you still exist ?
See the attached new .jar and I will soon update the CVS (just let me have
the time to clean the code ....)

RE: [Wh2fo-devel] Re: WH2FO Servlet

[Giannetti, F. <Fab...@hp...>]

Hi Carlos,
	I don't have an handy answer ... but I can suggest you to have a
look to the Xalan examples, there are 2 or interest:
PIPE
SAX2SAX
The mail that you point is related to XT and there is also the suggested
solution. I noticed that internal code for XT must be changed to read the
content of the InputStream:

>I've included an extra method on this class which returns the internal
PipedInputStream buffer:
>      public byte[] getStream() {
>           return buffer;
>       }

and the solution to pull out the null value was:

> public char[] getStream()
>      {
>         byte[] XToutput = // get buffer from pipedinputstream
>         return (new String(XToutput).trim().toCharArray());
>      }

Now if you want to try XT this could be a good starting point. Otherwise I
suggest you to send an e-mail to the Xalan people (or look to the archives)
because I guess this problem will be well known.

I'd like to talk a little bit of what I am currently doing ....
I have substantially improved the parser and simplified it. Now I will
basically Tockenize the input stream and obtain a sequence of OpenTags,
Content and CloseTags.
This is a quite big change but I think it's important, at least will resolve
the parsing errors and problems (circa 90% of current implementation).
As usual I'm in shortage of spare time, so I ask for a vote to put this
"unstable" version in the CVS (maybe in a different dir) and try to test and
improve all together.
So, for me: +1

[Wh2fo-devel] Re: WH2FO Servlet

[Carlos N. <cc...@ho...>]

I'll try to explain myself...
My intention is to develop a servlet that extends FopServlet, adding all the 
addicional steps to obtain a pdf from a doc. And ship it with wh2fo as an 
example of embedding wh2fo (as FopServlet is).
I don't want a heavy xml framework as cocoon, only a lightweight Servlet.
The other big limitation is not to use the filesystem for temporal 
intermediate xml files.
So, imagine we have the java.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource's from, for 
example, Tables.xml and Tables.xsl (wh2fo has done its job) and we want the 
transformation result in a java.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult that later 
will feed the org.xml.sax.InputSource. Once here we can instantiate 
org.apache.fop.apps.Driver(org.xml.sax.InputSource, java.io.OutputStream) 
from FOP 0.20.
In order to do such feeding i use a circular buffer:
  ...

  PipedInputStream bufferIn= new PipedInputStream();
  PipedOutputStream bufferOut= new PipedOutputStream(bufferIn);

  Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
  transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(bufferOut));

  bufferOut.close();

  ...

  Driver driver = new Driver(new InputSource(bufferIn), out);
  driver.run();

  ...

Well theoretically this should be ok, but it hangs Xalan.
I have found similar problem reported at:
   http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/199911/msg00422.html
It seems that the stream returned from the PipedInputStream is 
null-terminated and this hangs the parser.
But i don't know how to strip off the null from a PipedInputStream and later 
convert it to InputSource (my java weakness arrises here). Could any of you 
help me on this (assuming that any of you have understood me...) ;-(

Thanks!!!!!

Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

I've tried an example made for FOA (MyBank) that uses a lot of
apply-templates with the document function e.g.
<xsl:apply-templates

and I haven't found any problem at all. I use the xalan that is coming with
the fop dist (xalan 2.0.0 & xerces 1.2.3) using this command line:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN letter.xml -XSL MyBank.xsl -OUT
MyBank.fo
I send you the MyBank example so you can see some "strange" templates.
Hope this helps, Fabio

[Wh2fo-devel] Getting familiarized and more

[Carlos N. <cc...@ho...>]

Hi Nachev, Matthias and Fabio

Well, for now, i'm trying to get more and more familiarized with the code, 
and trying to develop a servlet like FopServlet that helps you to get a pdf 
from a word2000-html file instead of fo file.

The basic steps will be:
  1) Get a Word2000-Html ready for dynamic data (below is Fabio's mail at 
'wh2...@li...' about this).
  2) Get a xml fed up with the data.
  3) Get the wh2fo's xml, xsl and AttsXsl with wh2fo from 1)
  4) Get the fo with xalan from 2) and 3)
  5) Get the pdf with fop from 4)

Step 5) is the original FopServlet (at Fop-0.20.1\docs\examples\advanced)
Step 2) is just build a dom object with data from a bean or directly from 
database.
Step 1) requires to define some extra styles that will be replaced by means 
of an extra xslt.
Step 3) requires to wrap som classes that prodece that extra xsl and the 
<xsl:import href...> at the wh2fo original xsl.
Step 4) is a simple transformation.

Well just step 4), the easier, is putting me in trouble, due to the 
<xsl:apply-templates  select="document('Tables.xml')...>, i think.
If the transform process cannot find the file Tables.xml (from the wh2fo 
examples distribution), it generates an incomplete fo file. If it find it 
the transform process never end.
Any idea? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Carlos

[Wh2fo-devel] Developer's Status and future work.

[Giannetti, F. <Fab...@hp...>]

Hi Carlos, Nachev (you've been very quit until now ....) and Matthias,
	have you familiarized with the code ? Did you find any comment,
problem and so on that you like to discuss ?
Have you suggestion of future development and how to proceed. I'm open to
any kind of solution that you will suggests.
Matthias has been very useful to find out how to improve the documentation
and I guess he can also suggest new features.
As you can see from the code the most complicated part is the parsing,
unfortunately the way in wich Word creates the HTML has forced me to
introduce a non linear way to parse the document. I'm trying to understand
if it will be possible to use standard HTML parsers like jTidy (that is also
a project in SourceForge) or try to work on the parser to made it a little
bit more robust and linear.
Something that could be improved quite soon is the parsing of the header and
footer, so we can add images, horizontal rules and so on ....
I'm sorry that the code is not well documented so if you expose me the parts
that are particulary unclear I will add some documentation.
