PureBasic Forums - English

Hello!

I've got a nice new IDE tool to share... I know it's not very original (yet another PB-to-HTML converter) but hopefully this one has the easiest-to-use GUI and the most features.



Features:
- quickly convert a single file (or a folder of them) into nicely formatted HTML pages
- configure 14 code styles, including optional line numbers style
- automatically turn IncludeFile, IncludeBinary, etc. into HTML links
- (when run from IDE) your syntax styles, current source path, and DLL path should be automatically detected
- colors can be copy/pasted (via right-click menu on those colored CanvasGadgets)
- import/export settings to "prefs" files which are (mostly) compatible with the IDE
- source is included!

Important Notes:
- I've only tested it on Windows, but feel free to get it working on Mac/Linux
- it requires the Syntax Highlighting library included in your PB installation (SyntaxHilighting.dll on Windows)

Example output: here

Download: here

I hope you find it useful, it's been sitting around for a while and I finally got around to putting it online.

Looks great, thanks for sharing!

Nice idea, I'll try it soon !

Oh, and there is the source too... thank you for sharing it

very good , thanks ~~~!!

Please excuse my obtuse reply but is this for posting code on a forum, is that the purpose?

Nope, this outputs HTML for use on a website (as a stand-alone page or embedding in an existing page as a frame). There was another tool for generating BBCode (for the forum) but I cannot find the link :/.

Hi kenmo,

Output looks great, unfortunately it does not accept the syntaxhighlighting.dll on my system.
Is that because it is 64bit windows 7?

@netmaestro - Infobyte is right, it currently outputs HTML pages that you have to upload somewhere (or keep for personal use). You can't directly post them in the forum. Maybe I will look into an option to generate forum-friendly BBCode formatting instead?

@davido - The included .exe was compiled with PB x86... maybe it can't load 64-bit DLLs. The source is included so you should be able to re-compile it as 64-bit and try again.

Nice but if you wanted to copy and paste the code, it also copies the line numbers from the html.

Hi Kenmo,

Hmm... doesn't it sound so simple when told the answer!

Thanks very much.

@kenmo: If you have the time, it would be great to have an option for BBCode generation.

Nice tool!
But you should change the HTML output a little. It would be wise to use a formatting that allows
selecting and copying the code without line numbers. That's not easily possible at the moment.

(Also check the errors in your XHTML. ).


I think the user STARGATE made a tool for BBCode formatting.

D'oh! I can't believe I didn't think about copying code without copying line numbers... hmm.

Are there XHTML errors? When I started writing it I was ensuring it was Validated HTML, but that was months ago so maybe I changed something.

I will look into BBCode but I make no guarantees... I am pretty busy lately
