Mellel to HTML Droplet

[Johannes]

I'm am working on a Droplet that converts Mellel documents to html (and maybe later to .epub). The basic things work quite well at least for my test documents.

Feedback is welcome.

My philosophy is a bit different from Stephen Still's approach (see link below). I focus on getting the structure out of the Mellel document and transform it to a clean html code, while Stephen tries to reproduce the Mellel layout as faithful as possible (his xsl supports also more features at the moment).

Thanks to Stephen for his script. I learned a few things from looking at it.
You find his script here in the forum:

I uploaded a new version.

Main improvement is support for numbering schemes for Auto-titles (only Arabic, Latin and Roman for now). This was a real nightmare to do. Ironically the most obvious structural element within a Mellel document is code wise the most incompatible element for structured XML ... But it should work now.

Further Improvements:
Citations
Variables
Keywords and Comments
Revised handling and styling of footnotes
Revised Styles.css

Hi,
is there a way to use the q and blockquote tags?


thank you.

is there a way to use the q and blockquote tags?

Mellel has no direct equivalent to these tags, so it is difficult to handle this automatically.
However you have two choices to get the desired result:
1) Dedicate a user style (or variation) in Mellel to q and Blickquote and do a grep search and replace on the html output to replace them with the appropriate tags.
2) Edit the stylesheet to make certain classes behave like q or blockquote tags.

Hope that helps.
