I want to make a program that prepares an HTML file. It would either be on the server side or just running in my local machine.
I think it would be nice to be able to use the dart:html library since it has a lot of methods for manipulating html (obviously). But it is thought to be used dynamically on the client side, and I want to use it like this: manipulate an html DOM tree with dart:html, and when its ready, write a static html file. For instance using query('body').innerHtml
The problem I'm running into is that I if start a project with the "console application" template, I am not able to make dart:html talk to an html file. And if I choose "web application", in which I am able to do this, I cannot load the dart:io library, maybe it has to do with it being tagged as [server] in the SDK?
Of course I could just do:
print(query('body').innerHtml);
and manually copying the output to a file, but I thought maybe there is a more elegant solution.
See html5lib.
html5lib in Pure Dart
This is a pure Dart html5 parser. It's a port of
html5lib from Python. Since it's 100% Dart you can use it safely from
a script or server side app.
Eventually the parse tree API will be compatible with dart:html, so
the same code will work on the client or the server.
It doesn't support much in the way of queries yet.

I'm developing a node-red application right now that uses a html response. The html uses google maps, visual indicators and websockets. It is very hard to debug this system through node-red's little html editor. Is there a way to edit the html file through any normal editor (e.g. vs code) and then deploy the application again to see the effect ?
One solution that came to my mind was to read from an external file using the file node and return it as html, put I don't know if that works. Is there a better way ?
You can create and edit static resources (html/css files etc) however you'd like and then serve them from Node-RED.
You have two options for serving static content:
create corresponding HTTP In -> File In -> HTTP Response flows for each file you want to serve
or use the httpStatic property in your settings.js file to identify a directory whose content should be automatically served by the runtime.
I have an application that reads files from Box (the cloud storage thing) and sends them to a content analyzer. Unfortunately, the content analyzer can't handle PowerPoint files, so I need some way to convert them to another format, such as HTML. I know Box can do this; but I can't figure out a way to extract the HTML5 version of the file so I can send it to the analyzer.
Is there a REST interface (or even better, a Node.js SDK call) that will let me extract the HTML5 version of a file from Box?
What I needed was the representations API. It's explained in the SDK docs at https://github.com/box/box-node-sdk/blob/master/docs/files.md#get-representation-info.
I have a basic webpage built, and a Swagger document JSON file of my API. I am unsure of how to actually add the data from the document to the website so that it can be browsed.
I want to build hosted documentation for the API.
This is the example given by Swagger: http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/#!/pet/addPet
Do I just download Swagger UI and use it in conjunction with the JSON file.
But I am unsure on to achieve this. Any advice on how to go about creating something like this would be very helpful.
Swagger-ui is basically a set of static files you can host on your server to display your API.
Unless you may any major changes, you just need to copy the contents of the /dist folder to your server and host it as part of your application (or static website, doesn't matter).
The SwaggerUi object can be customized to your needs, including the URL of the spec you're hosting.
Keep in mind that if you don't host the ui and spec on the same server, (that is, same host and same port), you need to enable CORS.
On an Ubuntu platform, I installed the nice little perl script
libtext-mediawikiformat-perl - Convert Mediawiki markup into other text formats
which is available on cpan. I'm not familiar with perl and have no idea how to go about using this library to write a perl script that would convert a mediawiki file to an html file. e.g. I'd like to just have a script I can run such as
./my_convert_script input.wiki > output.html
(perhaps also specifying the base url, etc), but have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?
I believe #amon is correct that perl library I reference in the question is not the right tool for the task I proposed.
I ended up using the mediawiki API with the action="parse" to convert to HTML using the mediawiki engine, which turned out to be much more reliable than any of the alternative parsers I tried proposed on the list. (I then used pandoc to convert my html to markdown.) The mediawiki API handles extraction of categories and other metadata too, and I just had to append the base url to internal image and page links.
Given the page title and base url, I ended up writing this as an R function.
wiki_parse <- function(page, baseurl, format="json", ...){
require(httr)
action = "parse"
addr <- paste(baseurl, "/api.php?format=", format, "&action=", action, "&page=", page, sep="")
config <- c(add_headers("User-Agent" = "rwiki"), ...)
out <- GET(addr, config=config)
parsed_content(out)
}
The Perl library Text::MediawikiFormat isn't really intended for stand-alone use but rather as a formatting engine inside a larger application.
The documentation at CPAN does actually show a way how to use this library, and does note that other modules might provide better support for one-off conversions.
You could try this (untested) one-liner
perl -MText::MediawikiFormat -e'$/=undef; print Text::MediawikiFormat::format(<>)' input.wiki >output.html
although that defies the whole point (and customization abilities) of this module.
I am sure that someone has already come up with a better way to convert single MediaWiki files, so here is a list of alternative MediaWiki processors on the mediawiki site. This SO question coud also be of help.
Other markup languages, such as Markdown provide better support for single-file conversions. Markdown is especially well suited for technical documents and mirrors email conventions. (Also, it is used on this site.)
The libfoo-bar-perl packages in the Ubuntu repositories are precompiled Perl modules. Usually, these would be installed via cpan or cpanm. While some of these libraries do include scripts, most don't, and aren't meant as stand-alone applications.
I recently started using Flash Builder for the first time after developing C++ and C# for a long time.
I am using a FileReference object to upload a file to a server using its upload method. However, on the server-side, I need to receive a X-File-Name header. How can I control which headers are sent through the Flash object in Flex/ActionScript?
I couldn't find any resources about this anywhere. Is it possible?
I am afraid you cannot. The FileReference object is provided out—of—the—box and is not that much configurable.
But you can load the file, create your own sockets and reimplement the protocol with your needs (this is feasable if you don't need a lot of features).
Here is an example of how it works : http://googolflex.com/?p=367
