HTML -> drgin posts

edited September 22, 2005 in Dgrin Forum Support
Is there documentation somewhere of the input language for dgrin posts? Is there a thing somewhere that can convert simple html to that language? If not, I might have to write one.

I asked once whether it was possible to post HTML and Baldy said it was a matter of security. It is possible for specific posts in HTML to be allowed?

I've found Nvm to be a great choice for writing long posts like the Sharpening post, but conversion to dgrin input is boring. I'm on the verge of writing a script to do it. But perhaps someone already has, or perhaps the moderators can allow me to post HTML.
If not now, when?

    As far as I know it is either on or off, not definable by user and it is off as you know via Baldy.

    The biggest pain in converting simple html to dgrin input for me is the lack of a size option for img. In html, one can specify a display size for the image different from its actual size. Without this feature, I have to resize in PS and reupload. This would be a great feature and should be simple to add.

    Baldy asked what html features I really missed. At the time text flowing around an image came to mind and he said he would look into it. That hasn't happened. Here is another.

    I don't expect a lot here. I know the team is busy. I'll work on a simple conversion utility. The img size option would certainly make that work better.

    Hey Rutt,

    You can check the forums at www.vbulletin.com to see what can be specified wrt expanding the IMG tag or creating a new one with paramters like ALIGN, WIDTH, etc. I think you'll find there that they have a very dim view of turning HTML on.

    Thanks,
    Baldy

    Crude but effective
    OK, I wrote a little python script that can take HTML and turn it into VB code for input into a dgrin post. It's just good enough to handle the sharpening tutorial I wrote with Nvu. Nvu has the nice property that it makes fairly simple html if you don't get fancy. So, I'm clearly missing some things because I didn't get fancy. But I think it will be easy to add stuff as needed. As it is, it will break the back of the job next time I want to do this.

    The script can be downloaded from here: http://www.chezrutt.com/rutt/html2vbcode.py

    What I'd really love is to get back any enhancements that anyone else does, or enhancement requests if people use html features that need to get translated to vb code but aren't yet.

    If you want to write a long post, it really is a lot safer and more convenient to do in Nvm and then translate. With a little TLC, this script could really help that process.

    Sounds pretty easy and safe. Suppose we can get imgl and imgr?

    I know Baldy is busy, but just in case he finds a spare moment, I want him to try the easy procedure to add text flowing around images.

    I'm just trying to keep it visible on the theory that the squeeky wheel gets the greese. If he has a second he doesn't know what to do with some day and this thing is sitting there, maybe he'll do it.
