Re: reading bookshare xml files
I don't know. But you could try changing the end of the file to HTML and looking at it in Safari and seeing if you get more information that way -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Re: reading bookshare xml files
Hi. Normally, I use Voice Dream Reader on my iPhone to read books from Bookshare. However, I have heard that if you read XML renderings of the text, you get important information such as accurate hardcopy page numbers, etc. Since I will soon be using Bookshare content for graduate courses, this is important, I would think. Is my observation correct? Would there be any other advantages to reading a Bookshare title on my Mac that I might not be aware of?

Re: reading bookshare xml files
Open the folder containing the various files. Select the one ending in .xml. Edit it by changing xml to html. You will get a warning asking whether you are certain you wish to do this. Choose html. After that, you should be fine. Christine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: reading bookshare xml files
You can go to the file in finder, press return on it and change the .xml to .html and then it will read in safari. Use control to pause and restart speech. This might not be optimal but it can be done. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

Re: reading bookshare xml files
The best way I have found to do this is to get Voice Dream Reader if you have a portable device like an iPhone iPad or iPod, get the book there and then save the library The book will then be in plain text on your computer and you can read it that way. There's an idea! Maybe Winston will considering making Voice Dream Reader for the Macs, too Hmm Jane > On Jan 3, 2015, at 11:06 AM, Jean wrote: > > Hello All: > > I have a book from Bookshare and I want to read the xml file on my computer. > When I open the xml file in i tex express it opens but has a lot of code in > it.

reading bookshare xml files
Hello All: I have a book from Bookshare and I want to read the xml file on my computer. When I open the xml file in i tex express it opens but has a lot of code in it. When I try to open it in Safari it says the html is blank. I know that in Windows you can read them in the web browser but how is it best done on the Mac?
