I'm trying to export a spreadsheet that has some XML in some of the cells of the table.
ID (column A): 23455
FACT (column B) (this code is copied & pasted from a sample cell - they don't all have this simplicity or structure):
"<div class=""fact"">
<p><strong>FACT.</strong> The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri.</p>
</div>
"
I'd like to have XML like the following:
<record>
<ID>23455</ID>
<FACT><div class="fact"><p><strong>FACT.</strong> The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri.</p></div></FACT>
</record>
This is complex enough that I doubt that Excel's native XML schema export will work (that thing is persnickety enough that I can't get it to work with simplest of data values).
My current thought is to write a Perl script, to read this as a CSV file and export XML. However, I've noticed that CSV does a poor job handling XML that's been "embedded" like this.
I'm hoping someone else might have a better suggestion for how to pull this information out.
Edit: Finally figured out the mistake I made with export. Can export and get the following:
<record>
<ID>23455</ID>
<FACT><div class="fact"><p><strong>FACT.</strong> The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri.</p></div>
</FACT>
</record>
I think I can work with this...some regex and it might be good enough (looking for all < might put me at risk of killing a true less-than sign).
So I'm still open to suggestions
Just posting this as the answer...
If you export the column as text you can get the following:
<record>
<ID>23455</ID>
<FACT><div class="fact"><p><strong>FACT.</strong> The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri.</p></div>
</FACT>
</record>
In an XML editor I did a find and replace to get all the tags using the following regex: s/<(\/?[\w\s="-_]+?)>/<$1>/
It's a bit dangerous if there are actual signs in the document, but you'd need a case where it was < /maybe and text with common tag symbols ="-_ > - possible but most equations are of the form X < Y < Z. Our content doesn't use <> all that much, so I can be fairly confident it won't catch the edge case.
I also "fixed" all the HTML (s/<b>/<b/>/ and s/<img (.*?)>/<img $1/>/) and checked parsing (theoretically an edge case would cause a parsing error).
And yes, I now have a doc in mixed DTD that will make all true XML peeps quake with horror, but I can work with it.
I'm developing a Windows 8.1 Store App. I have a CommandBar control with a couple of AppBarButtons inside. Using the standard icons is easy, I just set the icon property to the appropriate string like so :
<AppBarButton Icon="Download" Label="Download Files"/>
I'd like to use a couple of custom icons from the very nice free collection Modern UI Icons. Ideally, I'd like to be able to set the icon property in much the same way :
<AppBarButton Icon="transit.distance.to" Label="Distance to destination"/>
This would refer to this icon : PNG / XAML
Is this possible ?
If not, what are the alternatives ?
Tim Heuer proposes using a font file, although at present the font files available here only cover a sub-set of the icons, and also this code is quite unreadable :
<FontIcon FontFamily="ms-appx:///modernuiicons.ttf#Modern-UI-Icons---Social" Margin="0,2,0,0" Glyph="" FontSize="37.333" />
Would you believe that shows a twitter icon?!
Tim Heuer also proposes using vector data, and one of the commenters explains how the vector data can be rolled into a style. I could do that, but then I would have to copy and paste the path data for each icon I want to include ?
Should I be using the PNG files, as explained in this question ? That looks pretty messy as well.
What a nightmare!
I'm not sure what the nightmare part is -- you want to use a custom icon that isn't present in the 200+ supplied defaults. You have options:
Use SymbolIcon and supply your own font. You note that you don't like that the code feels unreadable. Unicode ranges are universally used for symbol fonts and I agree that Unicode isn't human-readable, but a simple code comment would help ;-) Fonts give you the most ease and flexibility because they are also vectors.
PathIcon. You convert your image into vector geometries we can render. This would be the second best, but also requires a bit fine tuning of the vectors to get right. For people not familiar with working with geometries this can be annoying at first. Blend and Inkscape are helpful tools here.
BitmapIcon. This would allow you to use your PNG, however you now must supply multiple of them for different scales and states. This is my least favorite option as it requires most work, but for some may be the simplest. Now your problem you will hit is there is an issue with BitmapIcon for non-rectangular shapes (which looks like your icon is). This won't have the fidelity you seek due to a bug in rasterizing.
Contact metroicon author and see if he can put it into the font file so you can use option #1 :-)
Maybe this is what you're looking for:
<AppBarButton Label="Transit">
<AppBarButton.Icon>

Hope this helps!
I am not sure this is even possible with just using Movable Type tags but, how do I display random number with in certain range?
For example I have 10 images named 1~10 and every time I rebuild I want to display a random image from that range.
I use MT5.
Thank you in advance!
You can try my version of the MTCollate plugin with random filter. Original documentation is here: http://www.nonplus.net/software/mt/MTCollate.htm - difference is that it adds a sort="~" or "random" filter, but you'll probably be fine using the MTShuffleList block.
I think if you want to show one image and images count is ten, maybe you can show this cord.
<MTSetVarBlock name="imageID"><MTDate format="%S"></MTSetVarBlock>
<MTSetVarBlock name="imageID"><mt:GetVar name="imageID" op="div" value="6" sprintf="%d"></MTSetVarBlock>
<MTSetVar name="imageID" op="++">
src="/images/hoge<mt:GetVar name='imageID'>.jpg"
You can actually do this with PHP if you're so inclined. Movable Type supports the ability to publish to PHP and you can just put the content you want to be randomized inside of a PHP block. All you need to do is change the published archive file type to "php" in the blog settings. Here is the MTML sample:
<?php
$images = array();
<mt:Asset id="1">
$images[] = '<mt:AssetURL/>';
</mt:Asset>
<mt:Asset id="2">
$images[] = '<mt:AssetURL/>';
</mt:Asset>
<mt:Asset id="3">
$images[] = '<mt:AssetURL/>';
</mt:Asset>
$selected_asset = array_rand($images);
?>
Just repeat the Asset tag for each of the specific assets you want. That will generate ten operations to push each image asset's URL into the array. Alternatively, if you want to expose the last ten, you'd just to <mt:Assets lastn="10">
Hallo,
I wanted to ask how I can join three different pdf documents so that it appears in one single appendix. The command I gave was:
See Appendix~\ref{sec:corr-1}~\ref{sec:corr-2}~\ref{sec:corr-3}
and I have the following on my appendixes list:
\subsubsection{Writing}
\label{sec:writing}
\input{corr-1.tex}
\input{corr-2.tex}
\input{corr-3.tex}
Unforunately I cannot compile the final document.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Have a nice day.
Marie
In your example you just include tex files.
Have a look at the package pdfpages: http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf
Add to the top of your document:
\usepackage{pdfpages}
You should call this in the text where you want the PDF to appear:
\includepdf{test.pdf}
I am looking for a pointer as to how to get statistics out of a merge xml file. The file structure looks like this ..
<CyclometricComplexity>
<module name="Srvr" type="unit" total="14" low="14" medium="0" high="0" ultra="0"/>
</CyclometricComplexity>
I have created a merge publisher to pick up this file, but cannot configure the statistics publisher to pick up values for total, low, medium, high and ultra.
Does anyone have an example they can point me at to help me out?
Thanks
I think I found how to do this. First I needed to understand how XPath works! Then I changed my output tool to create a summary of the entire project, rather than trying to get CCNET to aggregate them together, so the out put now has total, low, medium, etc. for the entire project. Then I changed my statistics section to be as follows ...
<firstMatch name='Total Methods' generateGraph='true' xpath='//CyclometricComplexity/#total'/>
<firstMatch name='Low Complexity' generateGraph='true' xpath='//CyclometricComplexity/#low'/>
<firstMatch name='Medium Complexity' generateGraph='true' xpath='//CyclometricComplexity/#medium'/>
<firstMatch name='High Complexity' generateGraph='true' xpath='//CyclometricComplexity/#high'/>
<firstMatch name='Ultra Complexity' generateGraph='true' xpath='//CyclometricComplexity/#ultra'/>
The stats are now showing in the detailed statistics, and I need to now start asking questions about how to do bespoke graphs!
