Re: [Libreoffice] Report [GSoC] [helpfiles]
Hi Timo, Haven't heard from you for quite some time :-( - would be great to setup regular IRC meetings. How do Mondays 14:00 - 15:00 German time work for you? Please note that the mid-term is in 1 month from now, that is getting close... I am eager to hear about all the new things you've achieved; and if you are stuck with anything, I'll be happy to help!

With this script the HH-Compiler is platform independent. Bash and wine binaries exist for many platforms. These are the tasks for the future: - Test the conversions to CHM with the real libreoffice help. That computer will take long. - Implement the conversion to html At the moment I am stuck using mwlib to create docbook files. I can pass the names of articles to mwlib´s executable. Those articles will be converted. Either I need to find a quick way to select all articles or I create an algorithm. The algorithm shall parse the xmldump and make a list of all article names. At the moment I aim to search the mwlib code and find a way. Best wishes, Timo ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

It seems to be part of the DocBook distribution; some examples how it works are here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/winhelp/docbook_howto.aspx It uses cygwin, but I think you can do the same in Linux. The last step is calling hhc.exe, but hopefully this might run in Wine? Can you please try? - Implement the conversion to html - Testing and documentation To add to your TOOD: One thing that will be important, and will probably take some effort is to make sure the cross-referencing from LibreOffice to the system help works as expected; ie. when you do F1 inside a dialog box, you'll get exactly the help page the dialog is linked to.
