I had another chance to use this tonight and was blown away by the improvements! Really like the export to Word since now I can spell check my work!

I put a video up covering it's use:

Realm Works - EightBitz's XML Transformation Script (now with GUI and Word support) - Print or Spell Check your realm!

There's an issue that Happydevil43 helped me discover. This issue happens if:

You reveal a smart image snippet.
Despite revealing the snippet, you reveal no part of the image.
You export only revealed content.

Given this combination of actions, the .rwoutput file will contain no image data for the smart image, and no filename for the smart image.

My script expects both, so the lack of either will cause my script to choke. I will address this issue in the next update, but for now, I just wanted to announce this as a known issue.

I'd like to take a poll, just for my own curiosity. This isn't going to affect any functional changes.

For those who use this script, which output method, if either, do you prefer?
a) I prefer HTML.
b) I prefer a Word document.
c) I'll use either or both, depending on circumstances.

I used Word more. Spell checking. I have zero interest in printing though.

I must confess that I haven't used it yet, but prefered output would be html.

HTML. I can convert HTML to pretty much anything. HTML also has the advantage, like XML, that the file is human readable. I like that if there is an issue in the output I can at least look at the file and try and figure out what happened.

this may be a dumb question but i am not super tech savy so i was wondering if you could give a brief overview of what this program does? i know the orriginal was to convert obsidian portal stuff to realmworks but it seems you have done a lot more work to the program.

DMjoe87 · March 23rd, 2017, 08:56 AM

hay. i am a little lost as to the full capabilities of this script. i know the original was to translate obsidian portal material to realmworks but i know you added a fair few things. would you be willing to post a brief overview of the capabilities

I prefer HTML, although Word is a nice option to have.
