Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog
Release 2.14.4
Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Paulo Moura. All Rights Reserved.
=================================================================
This folder contains several files that enables .xml documentation files
created when compiling objects, categories, or protocols, to be converted
to PDF files, to be viewed in a web browser that supports the W3C standards
XML, XSLT, CSS and HTML 4, or to be converted to LateX for printing.
You will need to either copy your .xml files to this directory or copy
these files to the directory where the .xml files reside.
Regarding conversion to HTML, the links to the .xsl files on the .xml
files and the links to the .css files in the generated .html files assume
that all files reside in the same directory.
The choice of the default .xsl file to use is made in the config files by
the '$lgt_default_flag'/2 predicate. You can also choose a different
.xsl file by using the xsl/1 compiler option in the logtalk_compile/2 or
logtalk_load/2 calls. The default file is lgtxml.xsl (described below).
The .xml documenting files can be either generated as standalone XML files
or contain a reference to the Logtalk DTD file, logtalk.dtd. The reference
to the logtalk.dtd file can be either a local reference or a URI reference.
By default, all .xml documenting files contain a local reference but that
can be changed either in the config files or by using the doctype/1 compiler
option. Choose the option value that works best for your XSLT tools.
Brief description of each file in this folder:
lgthtml.xsl
XSLT file to output HTML files from the .xml files. The links in the
generated HTML files point to related HTML files. It can be used
to batch convert XML files to HTML files.
lgtxml.xsl
XSLT file for viewing .xml files directly in in a browser such as Mozilla
(version 0.9.2 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows
(after installing the latest Microsoft XML Parser Release that is needed
for XSL standard compliance). The links in the (internally generated)
HTML files point to related XML files.
lgtpdfa4.xsl lgtpdfus.xsl
XSLT files to generate PDF files from the .xml files (formatted either
for A4 paper or US Letter paper) using XSL Formatting Objects. Tested
with the XSL:FO processors Apache FOP 0.20.4 (http://xml.apache.org/fop),
PassiveTeX 1.21 (http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Software/passivetex/), and
RenderX 2.77 (http://www.renderx.com/).
texml.xsl
XSLT file to output TeXML files that can be further processed by
TeXMLatte to produce LaTeX files. The TeXMLatte program can be found
at: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/texml/.
ie50.xsl
XSLT file for viewing .xml files in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x
(using the outdated Microsoft XML Parser; works with both Macintosh
and Windows versions). The links in the (internally generated) HTML
files point to related XML files. It can be used to browse and view
the XML files directly.
logtalk.dtd
Document type description describing the structure of the .xml files
generated by Logtalk.
logtalk.xsd
XML Schema describing the structure of the .xml files generated by
Logtalk.
logtalk.css
Cascade style sheet file to render the HTML output of the .xsl files
in a web browser.
html.sh
Sample Unix shell script to batch convert .xml files to .html files.
The script also generates an index.html file that contains links to all
converted files. The title of the index.html can be given as a parameter
to the script.
Edit the script to match your environment before running it.
Requires James Clarck XT processor (http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html).
htmlnt.cmd
Sample Windows NT batch script to convert .xml files to .html files.
The script also generates an index.html file that contains links to all
converted files. The title of the index.html can be given as a parameter
to the script.
Edit the script to match your environment before running it.
Requires James Clarck XT processor (http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html).
htmldos.bat
Sample DOS batch script to convert .xml files to .html files.
Edit the script to match your environment before running it.
Requires James Clarck XT processor (http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html).
pdf.sh
Sample Unix shell script to batch convert .xml files to .pdf files.
Edit the script to match your environment and paper format preference
before running it.
Requires Apache FOP processor (http://xml.apache.org/fop). Tested with
version 0.20.4.
pdf.bat
Sample DOS batch script to convert .xml files to .pdf files.
Edit the script to match your environment and paper format preference
before running it.
Requires Apache FOP processor (http://xml.apache.org/fop). Tested with
version 0.20.4.
Note that you can write other XSLT files for converting the XML files to
other formats besides PDF, HTML, or LaTeX. You can also write alternative
CSS and XSLT files to change the appearance of the HTML and LaTeX files.
