LRF output - Page 19

yonkz · 07-14-2007, 04:15 PM

Too quick, there.

It did detect the chapters according to the cmd line output, but I guess it doesn't actually build a TOC with that info. When I open the output lrf - the TOC doesn't have the chapters in it.

Is there a way to build the TOC and have it show up in the lrf?

All links in the top level html file are put into the TOC.

HTML2LRF is an excellent program but sometims chokes on

Unicode Character 'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK' (U+2019) (also known as the apostrophe)

I receive the error on some HTML files created by MSWord 2000.

Also....

First chapter in Table of Contents (TOC) doesn't appear in TOC list on Reader or in Connect software.

When saving a document as HTML with Microsoft Word 2000, HTML2LRF correctly *reports* all the chapters being found in the table of contents (that is, "Detected Chapter..." shows all chapters correctly when compiling... all the text defined as "Header1")

However, even though HTML2LRF displays all the chapters being found, the very first chapter is not displayed in the Table of Contents (TOC) when opening the .LRF file in the SONY CONNECT Desktop software or the reader.

I'm able to work around it - HTML2LRF is still a great program

MS Word 2000 creates dreadful HTML. Clean it up with "tidy --wrap 0 --word-2000 yes" from the program at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ and see what happens then.

The only thing that html2lrf does when it detects a chapter heading is insert a page break before it. It does not insert detected chapters into a TOC. This is because it uses links i.e. <a href> tags to build the TOC. Every (almost) <a href> element gets put into the TOC.

Send me an example html file that causes the unicode problem.

I tried embedding the font Arial Narrow and I got Bold and Italics instead of normal where I should have. When it called for italics, I did get the correct italics version.

kovidgoyal · 07-15-2007, 09:44 PM

Yeah with most fonts for some reason I cant figure out the LRF renderer chooses the bold as the normal even though the fonts are correctly embedded.

JSWolf · 07-15-2007, 10:07 PM

I removed the bold italic font and ended up with the italic version.

kovidgoyal · 07-15-2007, 10:13 PM

You mean you removed it for the windows\fonts directory?

Yeah, I copied the font out of the Windows font directory so it could not be used. After I gave up on Arial Narrow, I put the font back.

Is there a way for the default to save to the same directory as the input file? Vista does not allow for the files to be saved to "program files". It will save any such files to a virtual store which is buried in multiple subdirectories and hard to find. I would love for it to save automatically to the same directory as the source file. Yes, I know I can input an output directory from the command line but, I'd love for this to be a default.

You do not need the source in the same directory as the program. So you can put the source in some other driectoory and the default of saving in the same directory will work fine.

Not from my experience. I have Libprs500 in "C:\program files". I have the source in "D:\work". The command html2lrf D:\work\demo.html saves the output to "C:\users\ed\appdata\local\virtualstore\progra m files\libprs500\demo.lrf"

JSWolf · 07-16-2007, 01:31 PM

1. Start | Run | cmd
2. d:
3. cd \work\demo
4. html2lrf demo.html

That is all you need to do and demo.lrf will be in the same directory as demo.html.

JSWolf · 07-16-2007, 01:32 PM

Would it be possible to have an option to control the paragraph indent? Some HTML are fine as is and some are too small. I would like if possible a default of 4 spaces for an indent if that's OK.
