Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: search-replace linefeeds


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

/ Ethan Vaughn <ethan@gurulabs.com> was heard to say:
| i'm trying to translate a <screen> block into an html table but can't figure 
| out how to get the linefeed replaced by an html tag (like </td>). Maybe i'm 
| just going at it all wrong.  Here's a sample of the xml:
|
| 	<screen>
| <prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>telnet</command></userinput>
| Trying 192.168.0.1...
| Connected to 192.168.0.1
| 	</screen>
|
| To test it i'm trying to search linefeeds out of the content and replace with 
| <br>. My goal however is to be able to translate each line into an HTML table 
| row so i can tag certain lines with callouts. Anyway, that's not the issue 
| (yet).

You're going to trip over all sorts of ugly issues. The extension
functions I wrote to do line numbering and callouts would be one place
to start.

Whatever solution you decide to use, make sure you test the case were
linebreaks occur inside markup.

	<screen><prompt># </prompt><userinput><command>telnet
i wasn't expecting a linebreak here</command>
where you?</userinput>
	</screen>

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
