Hi Dilwyn, In which format do you want me to send the keywords list? Possible formats: 1)Export for Archive/Suqcess/QLDBAS 2)HTML (tables) 3)CSV (can be opened in CALC(OpenOffice) and probably Excell 4)Plain text (field separator TAB) The file will be zipped to reduce its size.

I suspect that because you are using the PRE tag that your special characters might be ok, but I'm sure I've had problems when doing assembly stuff in PRE that I still had to convert stuff to the xxx; format. Xchange allows up to 50 translates, but the driver can only be 286 bytes total IIRC, so as the lengthy pre and post ambles took up a good chunk of this, I think it's limited to a couple of dozen translates of the most common accented characters. Using PRE text seems to cope with most simple things, good enough for what I wanted. You can see a sample of what html_dat produced on www.dilwyn.uk6.net/versions/index.html which links ot the Abacus spreadsheet in which I keep my version numbers list and to a html-ised version for comparison. Not all of the QL character set has equivalents, but most does. The easy option is to translate say up arrow to [UP] (OK, cheating I know, but so what) Dilwyn -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] Abacus to HTML
My Doc2Html program does something similar as well. In this particular case the html_dat driver for Abacus did what I needed without a second program being needed, but thanks for that.

In practise, you dont need to use up all that space in the pre/post amble. Most browsers should cope with a simple html bla bla /html So, if you need more space for Translates etc, just cut them right to the bone. Both Firefox and IE even correctly display html titleTitle/title pre bla bla /pre /html Per ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
