Realm Works Output Formatter

Hey Farling

I dloaded this tool and it is awesome, but is there any reason that it won't convert some snippets, like Labelled Text and hybrid? Is it that the export does not store that information?

I'm still working on all the various snippet types - not all are properly sorted yet.
I thought that I had the "labeled_text" snippet sorted, but I will have another look later.
 
I was thinking about something like CSS. I could easily include that as a separate file, and add a button to load your own CSS.

Right, separate file, like I did with mine, so all anyone has to do is edit the CSS file, and it customizes the whole doc. But I think you'd need to include (like I did with mine) a base CSS file so if a user wants to load their own, they know what tags you're including in the XML and can modify their own CSS file accordingly.

This.

First it would be a real pain to go through an entire directory pf HTML files adding the same line over and over again.

Second having a base CSS tells people which tags you use so they can tailor their own overrides.
 
Version 1.2 has been released.

1) Separate web pages can be created for each topic, with a single index.html providing a summary of the containing hierarchy.

2) The HTML output is generated with a separate "theme.css" file which describes some basic styles.

3) A maximum width can be specified for images, in which case images which are wider than the limit will be reduced in size using a binary fraction to cleanly reduce the image size (e.g. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16th).

Rather than starting from scratch I would hope people interested in such would continue work on EightBitz's project.

I thought it was worth mentioning that I haven't looked at EightBitz's scripts because they are covered by the "Creative Commons Attribution + Non-Commercial license" license, whereas my tools are covered by a GPL license.

It keeps things neater if there is no direct sharing between the two.
 
I've just run this tool on my Skulls and Shackles realm, which has an RWoutput file size of 426,177 KB and it didn't crash :-)
 
Version 1.3 now supports almost all snippet types. The notable exception is hybrid_tags since I don't see how to generate them within Realm Works.

Separate files are created for objects in the realm which aren't simple picture or smart images.

Version 1.5 has just been released which adds better support for smart images.

- The reveal mask is used to dim the parts of the image which are not revealed.

- Although no PINs are drawn on the map, their locations on the map are now links to the corresponding topic.

Version 1.6 has just been released.

There was a situation where multiple paragraphs in a single snippet would only output the first paragraph.

Re-organise the user interface slightly.

Provide an option to show the reveal mask on smart images, instead of always applying it.

All sorts of embedded <span> tags have been removed (unless they reference a style change).

GM instructions are now created with a label of "GM".

The CSS has been improved:
- every topic title has a class of topic
- every section header has a class of sectionX
- each level of summary on the summary page has a class of summaryX
- the label on labelled snippets has a class of "snippetLabel"

Version 1.7 is available.

GM snippets are displayed similar to inside Realm Works (they have their own CSS style).

External links (and probably tables) weren't being put into the output properly.
 
Anxious to try this out, but I'm getting a Runtime error as well. It's when loading the initial file, and is the same error given earlier in this thread.

The output file is 879 MB. Happy to send it to you via Google Drive if that might help.

Yes, I would love to try your rwoutput file.
I've been using the original crashing realm and it is working just fine now :-)
 
Version 1.8 is now available:

Topic prefix and suffix added to topic title (configurable via CSS).
Add a title to each pin on a smart image.
Add numbering of sections within a topic (via CSS).
Calculate smart image mask properly.
Improve formatting of the summary page.
Fix low-level handling of HTML inside snippets (this includes better support for snippets containing only tables).
Convert output to be XHTML instead of just HTML.

Hello!

Just a nitpick and a quick question - is it possible to get the tool without installer e.g. as zip archive, so it can be just extracted in a folder of my choice. Currently I am using always the uninstall routine of course.

I have the same problem with the installer for the other tool as well. The Qt Installer is quite bad for not providing a proper offline upgrade option.

I might look at how to set it up to do an upgrade from an online server, but it seems quite fiddly to set up and maintain.
 
Version 1.9 has been produced.

This version is 64-bit only, to allow for processing of massive (900+ MB) RWoutput files.

There's a slight improvement to snippet detection that will allow more formatting to be carried across, although some things (like tables) still aren't always detected properly.
