It is my intention to distribute the next release version of
fpspreadsheet with the relevant chm snapshot of the wiki page.
Therefore, I am experimenting with exporting the wiki to the local
computer and coverting it to html and chm files. I am using the
following command lines for this purpose:<br>
<blockquote>wikiget --page=FPSpreadsheet<br>
wikiconvert --format=chm --css=chm\wiki.css
wikixml\FPSpreadsheet.s00.xml<br>
</blockquote>
At first, I was extremely surprised how easy this is and how well it
works (after fixing some minor issues - see bugtracker). In detail,
however, there are some issues left which I cannot fix without
digging very deeply into the wiki and html parsers:<br>
<ul>
<li>All the text of the converted wiki page is shown in the color
of the anchors. After searching for a while I found that IMHO
the "a" tag is not correctly used in the converted html files: A
header line in the text is currently converted as:<br>
<br>
<div class="section"><br>
<a name="API_Documentation"/><br>
<h2>API Documentation </h2><br>
<p>...<br>
<br>
I think the correct syntax is<br>
<br>
<div class="section" id="API_Documentation"><br>
<h2>API Documentation </h2><br>
<p>...<br>
<br>
After this modification in the html file the browser shows the
text in black.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Links to external or wiki-internal documents are not working.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In table headers of the wiki I had separated the individual
header cells by double exclamation marks (!!). I think - maybe
from this page <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting</a> -
that this is a legal syntax, and it has been working perfectly
in the wiki. The converted file, however, does not separate the
line at the exclamation marks, and the exclamation files are
still in the file. After replacing the double exclamation marks
with double pipe symbols, I could make it work; but I think the
converter has a bug here.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In the final end, I would like to create a navigation tree in the
left pane of the chm file. Any idea how this can be done?<br>
