[tw] Re: [TW5] Presenting Klugey HTML to TW5 converter
Hi Guys, Works really very well, considering the HTML-export I throw at it. I have to do some extra work on the result but then it is great and looksfine in my TW. I have about 2000 items in the database that slowly I am converting to items in a TW Thanks a bunch!! Salut!

Hi Mark,

If you make a small change in your code you can call the macro from a
tiddlyclip rule. The change is
/* Check for special environmental variable. But argument text will take
precedence. */
var vartext = (this && this.getVariable) ?
this.getVariable("text2convert"): null;

The tiddlyclip tiddlers are below, and allow content to be converted as
it is clipped.
All the best

Hi BJ,
That's pretty neat!
Here's the macro with your suggested changes, the $:/tags/tiddlyclip flag,
some attribution, disclaimer, and a bit of documentation.
If you want to include it in your distribution that's OK by me.
Thanks!

It attempts to convert most common markups including links, images and
tables.
Someone who understood TW5 better would probably build a DOM tree
structure, and then parse out the parts piece by piece.
What I did was to simply apply a series of regular expressions. The
problem with this approach is that mismatched tags can really throw the
translation off the rails. So use at your own risk. You should check to
make sure that all original content is still present. You are likely to
need to adjust bullets and tables. It's likely that certain situations I
haven't thought of will break it more severely.
Maybe this will be an incentive for someone to come up with something
better ;-)
As always, make sure that you have a backup of any TW you try this in.
Just import the attached json and then reload your TW file. Put your HTML
contents in a designated tiddler. In the HTML2TW Launcher supply the name
of the source tiddler and click on the convert button. The resulting
mark-up should appear in the tiddler with the same name as the original
tiddler plus "-converted" appended to the title..
Thanks to BJ, Eric, and Jed for helping me with the launcher.

[tw] Re: [TW5] Presenting Klugey HTML to TW5 converter
Hi BJ,
That sounds like a really good idea. But when I try it, it gives an alert
pop-up that says "html2twmarco not found". ("marco" is an exact quote).
Is there something else I have to do to the macro (naming, location,
tagging?) to allow it to be found?
Thanks!
