# Description: # A script to reformat a plain text file document which contains a # set of urls and descriptions of those urls into some kind of html. The resulting # HTML also contains a form which allows the user to make comments about # the source document. This script can be used in conjuction with the # 'add-comment' script, which processes the form values and updates the # text file apon which the HTML file is based. # # The script recognises some special structures within the plain text # document. For example: # # The '=' character, when the first non-whitespace character on a # line indicates that all the following text on the line should be # formatted as a 'heading' or 'page title'. # # The '*' character, indicates that the following white-space # delimited text should be formatted as an Html hyperlink, with the # text content of the hyperlink being the url itself. # # This script also accepts the format: # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]*[spaces]The Document Title|Url-Or-Path/to/Html/File|Url-Or-Path/To/Text/File| # # This script also accepts the format (all on one line): # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]*[spaces]The Document Title|Url-Or-Path/to/Html/File|Url-Or-Path/To/Text/File| # |Url-Or-Path/To/Pdf/File| # # This script also accepts the format: # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]*[spaces]The Document Title|Url-Or-Path/to/Base/FileName|||| # An example of this format would be # * A Interesting Analysis|/alexis-info/docs/the-ramble|||| # This example assumes that there are files # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.html # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.txt # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.pdf # # This format is useful when all the different 'versions' (that is, document formats) # have the same base name and directory location, but have the appropriate file name # extension for their documents type. The script will automatically generate links # to each of these document formats in the order: html, text, pdf # # # The script also accepts the format (all on one line) # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]* # [spaces]The Document Title|Url-Or-Path/to/Base/FileName|extension|extension|extension| # Where 'extension' is any file name extension # An example of this format would be # * A Interesting Analysis|/alexis-info/docs/the-ramble|txt|html|doc| # This example assumes that there are files # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.html # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.txt # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.doc # # For the sake of the 'readability' of the text file, this format is prefered to the previous # one. Both of these formats can also be used with two file name extensions instead of one. # # This script also accepts the format: # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]*[spaces]The Document Title|Url-Or-Path/to/Base/FileName||| # This produces the same results as the format above except that no link to a Adobe 'pdf' # file is created. # # The script also accepts the format (all on one line) # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]* # [spaces]The Document Title|Url-Or-Path/to/Base/FileName|extension|extension| # Where 'extension' is any file name extension # An example of this format would be # * A Interesting Analysis|/alexis-info/docs/the-ramble|txt|doc| # This example assumes that there are files # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.txt # /alexis-info/docs/the-ramble.doc # # This script also accepts the format (All on one line): # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]*[spaces] # The Document/Link Title|Url-Or-Path/to/File| # # The script also accepts the format: # [Beginning Of Line][spaces]http://blah # # The script will also format blocks of text between the strings -->> and --<< # (where they are the first string on the line) as an HTML
 block
# 
#    This filter script also ignors lines starting in a '#' character. That is
#    those lines will not be rendered into Html.
# 
#    Please see the file /var/www/alexis-info/docs/resources.txt for an
#    example of a file which utilizes some of the formats described above.
#
# Example:
#    ./linkdoc2html.sh aRave.txt > aRave.html
#     
# Parameters:
#   textFileName
#     The name of the text file which is to be transformed from text into html
#   [notran]
#     If the second parameter is the string 'notran' then the javascript links
#     to the google automatic language translation engine will NOT be inserted
#     into the HTML page. This is useful, for example, when the HTML page is 
#     going to be located within a 'password-protected' directory, because
#     the Google translation engine will not be able to access the page, and
#     therefor the translation links will not work.
#   [notoc]
#   [forum-processor-url]
#    
# Notes:
#   The idea of this script is to allow the text file to be as free of 'mark-up'
#   as is possible. This can allow the simple maintenance of the text file, although
#   the precision and utility of a system such as XML is not available. 
#   It should be possible to modify this script to produce XML instead of HTML
#
#   This script has been successfully run on the debian linux bash shell.
#   It is possible that it would also run on a Microsoft Windows bash shell,
#   such as the Cygwin Bash shell.
#   
#   There is a GPL perl program called text2html which performs a similar task
#   to this script.
#
#   The HTML produced by this script is NOT friendly to Lynx, the text browser
#   because it uses an HTML table to create a 'left margin' for the document
#   A style sheet should be used instead.
#
#   The code which used 'mawk' or 'awk' or 'gawk' in order to number certain lines
#   which matched a regular expression have been removed and replaced with code
#   which uses the 'nl' program. For some reason 'nl' place empty lines in between
#   every line in the file when it uses a regular expression to number lines. These
#   'empty' lines actually contain a series of spaces and nothing else.
#   
#   For this reason, some extra 'sed' lines are necessary in order to get rid of this
#   unwanted blank lines.

 #-- The section below creates the table of contents for the linkdoc.
 #-- This line is designed to only number lines which match a pattern
 #-- In theory 'nl -bpPATTERN' should also do this, but it insisted on
 #-- 'double-spacing' the output
 #-- Also the expressions below try and get rid of things like "can't" and "won't"
 #-- because I want to apply some formatting to the content of quotes, and these
 #-- things will get in my way.

 #-- This is the pattern which determines what sort of lines will

#-- I have disable the code below because in a cgi environment, this script doesn't
#-- seem to have permission to create a file. 
#-- This is a real gotcha. If the file $1.temp already exists and is not writable
#-- by 'other' then the 'add-comment' script falls over because it cant successfully
#-- call this script. This problem only arises in a CGI environment where the 
#-- Web server does not have root permissions. If the $1.temp file cannot be
#-- created then this script wont work. One solution is to manually give 
#-- write permission to 'other'.
#-- This script (and the 'add-comment' script) will succeed the FIRST time in
#-- a cgi environment if the $1.temp file does not exist at all. This is 
#-- because if the file does not exist then the Web Server has sufficient
#-- permissions to create it. HOWEVER, the second time and afterwards this
#-- script and the 'add-comment' script will FAIL because when the web
#-- Server creates the $1.temp file the first time it creates it without 
#-- write permission for 'other'. That is to say, the Web Server essentially
#-- is able to create a file which it is not allowed to subsequently 
#-- modify (nor re-create). Actually this whole second part may not be true
#-- The web server creates the file as 'mbishop' and probably cant write to 
#-- it.
#--
#-- There are, no doubt, various solutions to this problem, including giving the
#-- web server sufficient permissions to recreate the file. etc. However the
#-- simplest solution is just to not use $1.temp. It is/was only used in three 
#-- places. Removing it may or may not slow the script down. I dont know
