KML/Fusion Tables - line is always red - google-maps

I've been playing around with the Fusion Tables/Google Maps stuff to create some flight paths between different places but I can't figure out how to style the lines correctly.
This is an example KML that I imported:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<Document>
<name>LineStyle.kml</name>
<open>1</open>
<Style id="linestyleExample">
<LineStyle>
<color>00FF00</color>
<width>4</width>
<gx:labelVisibility>1</gx:labelVisibility>
</LineStyle>
</Style>
<Placemark>
<name>LineStyle Example</name>
<styleUrl>#linestyleExample</styleUrl>
<LineString>
<extrude>1</extrude>
<tessellate>1</tessellate>
<coordinates>-0.47364383,51.824664,0.0 -122.364152,37.824322,0.0</coordinates>
</LineString>
</Placemark>
</Document>
</kml>
And it draws the line correctly but it's always red no matter what value I put inside the LineStyle section.
Anyone got any ideas how to get a different colour? I've tried everything I can think of but I'm stuck!
Thanks in advance,
Mark

You can style them (polylines, polygons, and markers) in FusionTables using the User Interface (in Visualize:Map, click on Configure Styles). It is easiest if you put style information in a column (unless you want them all the same)
You can also configure up to 5 styles dynamically in the Google Maps API v3 on a (single) FusionTablesLayer.

Fusion Tables does not import style information, you have to re-style using the Fusion Tables interface

Replace LaTeX formulas in HTML markup with IMG tags linked to generated SVG images

I have an XML file witch in some nodes contains HTML markup. I want to be able to use LaTeX formulas there. I'm trying to find a way to generate another XML file with those formulas replaced with <img src="..."> tags, and produce corresponding svg images. Is there a tool for that, or is the task to specific and I need to write it myself? I was hoping that there is something that I could tweak a little to get it to work like that.
Example is below:
Input file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<snippet>
In mathematics, <b>Euler's identity</b> is the equality $e^{i\pi}+1=0$.
</snippet>
<snippet>
Albert Einstein's famous formula:
$$E=mc^2$$
</snippet>
</root>
Output files:
f1.svg
f2.svg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<snippet>
In mathematics, <b>Euler's identity</b> is the equality <img src="f1.svg" />.
</snippet>
<snippet>
Albert Einstein's famous formula:
<img src="f2.svg" />
</snippet>
</root>
I was looking into mathjax-node and mathjax-node-cli and found the tool tex2svg witch takes a TeX string and produces a single image. Seems like a part of what I need, but there's still a lot to do.

Include images in CSV/KML file

I'm working with OpenLayers 3 and I want to include images in KML file in order to show them inside the point on the map.
I created this csv file:
I converted it to KML file using https://batchgeo.com
The structure of the KML file:
<kml xmlns='http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2'>
<Document>
<name>Logos2</name><Placemark>
<styleUrl>#0</styleUrl>
<name>A</name>
<ExtendedData>
<Data name='logo'>
<value>logos/a.png</value>
</Data>
</ExtendedData>
<address></address>
<Point>
<coordinates>44.72,14.78,0</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>
<Placemark>
.
.
.
in code:
electedTextStyleFunction(feature.get('value'))
If I replaced 'value' with 'name', it shows successfully on each point. but when i keep 'value', nothing shows. Any idea?

DocBook: How to link to another man page?

I am writing a couple of man pages in DocBook. I would also like to convert them to HTML for display on the web. How can I insert a link from one man page to another, such that it appears in man as target(1) but appears on the web as a hyperlink to the other man page, which has also been converted to a separate HTML file in the same directory?
I think I have figured this out. You should use a <citerefentry/> in the document, which appears as expected in a man page. It isn't hyperlinked in a HTML document unless you provide a method for generating the target URL, which you do in a customisation layer.
Here is an example document snippet for the "See Also" section in a man page:
<refsect1 id="seealso">
<title>See Also</title>
<simplelist type="inline">
<member><citerefentry><refentrytitle>grep</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry></member>
<member><citerefentry><refentrytitle>awk</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1P</manvolnum></citerefentry></member>
</simplelist>
</refsect1>
Coupled with this customisation template (saved as custom.xsl)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<!-- Ignore spaces between elements (without this, the URL is "grep .html" -->
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!-- Turn citerefentry elements into HTML links -->
<xsl:param name="citerefentry.link" select="1"/>
<!-- Code to generate the URL for a given citerefentry element -->
<xsl:template name="generate.citerefentry.link">
<xsl:value-of select="refentrytitle"/>
<xsl:text>.html</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Using the xmlto program to process the DocBook XML, specifying the customisation layer for HTML:
$ xmlto man input.xml
$ xmlto html-nochunks -m custom.xsl input.xml
In a manpage, this produces:
SEE ALSO
grep(1), awk(1P)
And in HTML it produces this: (all the <span> elements have been removed for clarity)
<h2>See Also</h2>
grep(1), awk(1)
The actual URLs generated can be adjusted by editing the content of the generate.citerefentry.link template in custom.xsl. The example above just uses the value of the <refentrytitle> from the DocBook XML and appends ".html" to it.

xml cdata not allowing html

So from what I understand of the CDATA tags on an XML document, it's meant to allow HTML tags inside it to function as they normally would.
I am working with a website template here that uses XML files, and while editing one of the documents to add a href or image to it, I rather get a string. Here's the code, if you can help me that would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried modifying the code to use the < / > that it seems to want to suggest in the output text, but that doesn't help either. If anybody can explain or link me to relevant information, or both, it would be amazing =)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xmldata section="Address">
<content>
<image src="resources/images/streetmap1.png" />
<bodytext><![CDATA[Shop 6, 106 Foster Street
Dandenong, 3175
Street Map:
<image src="resources/images/streetmap1.png" />
]]></bodytext>
</content>
</xmldata>
EDIT - Supplying accompanying .js file.

No. It is so that characters with special meaning in XML (such as <) can be included as data without escaping.
Here's the code
You need to look at the code that transforms the XML data into the HTML content. You haven't shared that with us.
<image src="resources/images/streetmap1.png" />
The HTML element is img not image and it should have an alt attribute.

Does Google Maps respect the <BalloonStyle> definition in KML?

I'm using the GGeoXml object to overlay KML on an embedded Google Map. I need to customize the popup balloon for placemarks, so I'm trying to use the <BalloonStyle> element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Document xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
<name>Concessions</name>
<Style id="masterPolyStyle">
...
<BalloonStyle>
<text>
<![CDATA[
<h6>Concession</h6>
<h4>$[name]</h4>
<p>$[description]</p>
]]>
</text>
<displayMode>default</displayMode>
<bgColor>DDA39B81</bgColor>
</BalloonStyle>
</Style>
...
</Document>
This works as expected in Google Earth, but the embedded map API appears to ignore this altogether. I suppose I could just leave out the <name> element altogether and just put everything in HTML inside the <description> element, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of the <ExtendedData> element to display custom data in a structured way.
This is now documented here (2009/04):
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlelementsinmaps.html
< BalloonStyle > no
(When did you ask this ? This forum/service needs a big fat DATE on each question, with a year in it :-) )
2$c,
*pike
No, like you have mentioned, html in the description is the only way I know that you can control the style of balloons through kml/georss feed.
Actually, the document referenced above (http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlelementsinmaps.html) must have changed, b/c now it says:
<BalloonStyle> partially only <text>
is supported
My problem is that the <text> seems to work for one KML file, but not another. The one that works for has polygon placemarkers, the other has points represented by icons - I wonder if that is why...
