Hi Math,

Thanks to all of you for the answers. Now more questions! ;)
I've been reading through some code in Doxia lately to understand how HTML
site generation is done, however foreign code is always hard to read and I
was hoping someone would digest it a little bit for me (like I always say,
saving time requires to be lazy :P).
What I need to know is if it's still possible to call a Driver to have the
contents generated in a given place? Let me explain. If I try to make a
parallel with what I have done with Pixware's parser to achieve my goal, I
only extended the class fr.pixware.apt.convert.Driver (
apteditor.drivers.APTEditorDriver) and called the appropriate method. A bit
I was not aware about this but it sounds very useful for a book playing
of code explains always better, so take a look at the following link, on
line 200, this is where all the magic happens in APT Editor:
http://apteditor.cvs.sourceforge.net/apteditor/APTEditor/src/apteditor/editors/MultiPageEditor.java?revision=1.3view=markup
I wish I could do the same with Doxia and let it do the dirty work: finding
the css, figures and other, execute macros, etc, so I can concentrate on
adding nice features to the UI of APT Editor.
Actually, no style exists in the AptSink. It is the renderer that pushes style.
Cheers,
Vincent
If anyone knows the answer let me know. In the mean time, I will have a look
at Trygve's code (thanks for the links by the way) to see how he's done it.
Trygve, if you want to contribute some code (in one way or the other) let me
know, I'm sure we can help each other, we seem to have the same goal!
Thanks,
Math

Hi Math!
I recently add a pointer on your tool, so I am aware about your tool.

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an Eclipse plugin called APT Editor which, like its
name
suggests, is an editor/viewer for APT files. Basically, it offers an
edit
pane to update the contents of the document, and a view pane to
preview
the formatted version of the document in HTML.
It is a great tool for dev. We could have a live renderer.
The project page is http://apteditor.sf.net
Some people asked me if it was possible to offer the possibility to
use
Maven Doxia's parser/renderer instead of the original code from
pixware.
Sounds like a good idea to me, however not being a Doxia developer
(not even
a Maven user to be honest) I wouldn't know where to look.
I'd appreciate if someone could give me some pointers as to how I
could
integrate Doxia with the APT Editor. To summarize, I'd need to know
what
libraries to load and what methods to invoke to generate an HTML
version of
a given APT file into a chosen directory.
First, I suggest you to do a smart co of the doxia site
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/doxia/site
We added lot of documentations these days.
Would be nice if we could publish the new docs already (for people who
are not familiar with maven to build the site themselves), at least
somewhere on a stage site, or even live, since the main site is just
user docs. WDYT?
And another co from the full doxia project
The apt parser is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/doxia/doxia/trunk/doxia-modules/doxia-module-apt
Another link that might be useful is Trygve's doxia-editor:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/doxia/doxia-editor/
It's still in the sandbox and not very much advanced (it currently only
does apt - xdoc conversion, and that not correctly... :( ), but from
what I understand, it's supposed to be a stand-alone editor/renderer for
any doxia-supported format.
The biggest problem with creating an editor for Doxia is that Doxia has
no object model, it is all about events which is a major PITA. The only
thing that is usable from the editor I made is the stuff that builds the
objects.
