I want to indent my text in the article I am writing in docbook 5. I also need to add colors to my text. Is that possible? If so how? I tried indenting as follows but it was not visible when I took the html output of it.(Here I tried to align the text "Kerfun" to the center) I have no idea regarding the colour change. Can someone please tell me how? Where have I gone wrong?
<dbk:para text-indent="center">Kerfun</dbk:para>
<dbk:para text-indent="center">
<dbk:emphasis role="bold">Fadiah</dbk:emphasis>
</dbk:para>
You haven't specified your OS or toolchain.
To format your xml:
I'd suggest using the "xmllint -format" command
To validate your xml:
Same command could be used to ensure your document is valid against the docbook schema
To colorize your xml:
That very much depends on what editor you use. Personally I'm a fan of gvim which has XML high-lighting enabled by default.
Update
As stated I'm not a windows guy but 2 minutes of googling lead me to the following:
Notepad++ appears to have an XML plugin. Source was the following link

I am trying to create a TOC for my Markdown blog.
The methods I am finding here... : Markdown to create pages and table of contents?
....do not work for me because I am naming all of my headers # _</>_ The Setup because I am using CSS on to style the "", giving each header a nice colored Icon next to it. If I simply use ```# The Setup ```` it works great.
This causes issues whenever I try to use [The Setup](#The-Setup).
I tried a few things like [The Setup](#_</>_-The-Setup) and other things, but I can not get it to work.
If someone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has a better way of adding custom icons next to headers, I think that would be the better way to go about it.
As always, thanks in advance.
The general solution is to examine the rendered HTML output to see what the tool is converting the special characters to, in the HTML's element ID. Every tool could handle the conversion differently (it could convert special characters to -, _, or just remove special characters). Some examples:
<h1 id="_____the-setup">The Setup</h1>
<h1 id="-the-setup">The Setup</h1>
<h1 id="the-setup">The Setup</h1>
Once you have identified the exact id that the tool is using, then you use that value as the heading link in the markdown's table of contents. For example:
[The Setup](#_____the-setup)
Now, the tricky part is that not all Markdown tools will export the rendered HTML, including VS Code. The workaround for VS Code is:
Open the markdown preview mode (which renders to html internally).
Open the VS Code Developer Tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools).
Use DevTools to inspect the element (in this case, the heading element for "The Setup").
I see that VS Code named the id as the-setup, so in the markdown's table of contents, I write [The Setup](#the-setup). Now the table of content hyperlink works in VS Code. Caveat: it might not work in other Markdown tools if they render a different HTML element ID!
Another shortcut now available in VS Code (1.70 July 2022), is that markdown can autocomplete the header ID. So you just type #, and it will list the valid IDs:
I am trying to display a diagram imported with draw.io editor and saved as xml file. To parse and render the diagram's xml I use the mxGraph library that display it correctly except for the encoded images. I mean this part of the xml:
<mxCell style="vsdxID=65;fillColor=none;gradientColor=none;image;aspect=fixed;image=data:image/jpg,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAA...
all other aspects are handled fine (shapes, color, lines, ...) but the data:image/jpeg is simply ignored. I don't have any error in console nor broken img tags are generated or similar things.
What/where coukd be the problem?
Marco
Ok, I got it by myself... thanks to Colin tip!
The solution is to change
figure;
in
shape=figure;
and the picture is rendered as expected :-)
Probably it is a bug in the draw.io import/export functionality
Currently, I am working on a program that converts an html page into a PDF using the iText Library.
The Checker that I am using is PAC3 -->PDF Accessibility Checker 3 which is described by the following link (https://section508.gov/blog/check-pdf).
One of the issues is the “Alternate description missing for an Annotation”
An excerpt from the following link explains it:
http://www.uottawa.ca/respect/sites/www.uottawa.ca.respect/files/fss-fixing-accessibility-errors-in-pdfs.pdf
Alternative description missing for an annotation This usually happens when the link is not clear enough. To fix this error, add alternative text to the link tags. To add the alternative text, please do the following;
In the tag tree, select the tag for the link, and select Properties
from the options menu.
In the Touchup Properties dialog box, select
the Tag Tab.
Type alternate text for the link, and click close
I have been trying to use iText to fix this problem, but googling, looking at the source and reading the documentation does not help.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to either write the HTML or use the itext problem to get rid of the “Alternate description missing for an Annotation”
Thank you for your help
You did not specify whether you using old code (XMLWorker, HTMLWorker) or new iText code (pdfHTML).
This of course impacts the proposed solution.
In my answer I am going to assume you are using pdfHTML
There are several options:
edit the incoming HTML using a library like JSoup
convert the incoming HTML to iText IElement objects, and edit those, setting properties where needed
write your own custom TagWorker that handles all instances of a specific tag, and write custom logic to deal with the missing annotations.
An example of a custom tag worker can be found here:

I just started to use the trial of Sublime text 2 and was wondering if there is any function or plugin for me to convert block of HTML to javascript string ?
I have try to search but couldn't find anything. Thanks!
Sublime text doesn't perform any parsing/converting functions, it's just a very pretty and useful text editor with various syntax highlighting, and as far as I'm aware most plugins for it are either for visual styles/highlighting or version control, not converting from one thing to another.
Saying that, if you want to convert HTML to a Javascript style string try this: http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-tools/html-javascript-convertor/
K. L., I am also reading this book and I gone through the same situation. I am using Notepad++ and could not find a way of doing this conversion directly from the editor. Then, I decided to download and install the vim editor (http://www.vim.org/download.php) and I made the configuration suggested by the authors on pages 73-74. It worked fine. Maybe I will try to make it work on Notepad++ in the future, but, for now, I can continue my reading. Hope this helps.
I would like to take some stuff from file A and reformat it to stick into file B using regular expressions. I am kind of new to vim so this may be a dumb question but I could not find the solution to this anywhere. I guess I am searching for the wrong phrases. Anyway, here are the details of what I want to do. I have a static html page that I would like to have an RSS feed for. Luckily, this page is mostly links to various news items, so creating the RSS will be pretty easy.
I have the regular expression ready:
:%s/^<a href="\(.\{-}\)".title="\(.\{-}\)">\(.\{-}\)<\/a>/<title>\3<\/title>\r<link>\1<\/link>\r<description>\2<\/description>
My problem is I do not want to make the changes in the html file that I am searching. I want the changes to occur in another file, new or existing. How do I make this happen? Or is this method completely off.
Oh and by the way, this expression takes something like this in the html file:
Title of Link
and turns it into this in the xml file:
<title>Title of Link</title>
<link>http://linktosomesite.com</link>
<description>Description of link</description>
Bonus: It would be really nice if I can place this within another file, say starting at line 5.
PS: I know this is a vim and regex question but posting it in html and rss because I noticed people have static html to rss questions there.
Why not just copy your file and then use sed/replace on the copied file?
It sounds like you want to write a transform. There are many transform tools. You certainly could do it with sed & awk for example. But I think the easiest way would be xslt. (you could use xsltproc or saxon...)
Here's an example template:
<xsl:template match="a">
<title><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></title>
<link><xsl:value-of select="#href"/></link>
<description><xsl:value-of select="#title"/></description>
</xsl:template>
It finds each a element, and outputs the results, with the text() node and attributes filled in.
Just run your substitution and save as another file:
$ vim file.html
:%s/^<a href="\(.\{-}\)".title="\(.\{-}\)">\(.\{-}\)<\/a>/<title>\3<\/title>\r<link>\1<\/link>\r<description>\2<\/description>
:w file.rss
:q
That's how I would in any editor, by the way.
