Re: [NTG-context] Html to Context using Wiki + hpricot
Dear All, I have added an article to the ConTeXt wiki on using Wiki as a collaborative medium for making ConTeXt documents. It is a preliminary version. I will continue to polish it in my spare time. Meanwhile comments/suggestions are welcome. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/HTML_and_ConTeXt saji .. * luigi scarso [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-07-11 10:27:12 +0200]: On 7/11/07, Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, I wanted to share my recent experience Really interesting .

[NTG-context] Html to Context using Wiki + hpricot
Hello All,
I wanted to share my recent experience in co-ordinated document development.
In our office we have to make annual reports, each part of which is contributed
by a member. Previously everybody wrote 'Word' documents which was compiled
into a larger report.
Recently we had the idea to use a Wiki to ease the pain out of this process
and to make it enjoyable for everyone involved. After looking around various
wiki software we decided to install a brand-new one called
Informl (http://informl.folklogic.net) . One nice feature about this is that in
the edit mode twin windows are used, one for input and the other a realtime
preview window. Anyway this approach could work with any Wiki software.
One motivation behind using a Wiki as front-end was to involve people who new
nothing about Tex or Context. Secondly it allowed any person to participate in
the process from anywhere.
Next we used the ruby library hpricot to retrieve the web document and
filter it into a context document. This step was interesting and I
would like to sharing the code with anybody interested. I am a novice Ruby
programmer, so the code may be far from perfect .. nevertheless.

chap_name = ch.inner_html.gsub(/\s*/,)
chap_name_org = ch.inner_html
# We create chapter directories
system(mkdir -p #{chap_name})
puts chap_name
# if chapter name starts with underscore (_) skip it
if chap_name.match(/^\_/)
puts chap_name
next
end
fil.write \\input #{chap_name} \n
chapFil=#{chap_name}.tex
`rm #{chapFil}`
cFil=File.new(chapFil,a)
cFil.write \\chapter{ #{chap_name_org} } \n
# We navigate to sections now
doc2=Hpricot(open(chap_link))
sections= (doc2/p/a.existingWikiWord)
sections.each {|sc|

sec_name = sc.inner_html.gsub(/\s*/,)
secFil=#{chap_name}/#{sec_name}.tex

scrape_the_page(sec_link,sFil,shFil)

the filtering

Thanks, Luigi...i will do so. Would it be appropriate to put it under the section General ConTeXt Documents? Let me know otherwise and in that case let me know where would be a good place to add this article. saji .. * luigi scarso [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-07-11 10:27:12 +0200]: On 7/11/07, Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, I wanted to share my recent experience Really interesting .
