Hi there,

I have just finished (kind of) the first stage of a converter to enable the
conversion of POV scene files to HTML pages.

I appologise in advance that this isn't quite in the POV essence of being a
cross-platform app, but all I know is VB, so that's all there is ;o)

This is currently a kind of beta 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1 release, with no help,
error handling, etc, but as far as I can see should  function correctly and
smoothly.  I have only tested on one W2k laptop, so, if you're not on this,
hold your breath, cross your fingers and see how it goes...

The attached zip contains just the one executable, so you'll have to have
various other VB runtimes etc for it to work.  If this means nothing to you,
just run it, if it doesn't work, go to www.mrhanford.com/povray and download
the full setup version.

Right, that's enough appologies, disclaimers, etc...
Just unzip into a folder and run.  The first time it is run, it will create
a sample stylesheet, a keyword file (afaik 3.5b14) and an operator file
(ignore it).  Just point it at your POV file, tell it where to put the html
file, and off you go.

Please let me know what you think, if it's well received I'll be doing a lot
more work on it, with batching, maybe porting to C, etc.

Thanks,

Mark Hanford

check strings inside comments and \" inside string, e.g:
---------------------------8<--------------------------
//#include "color.inc"
/*#include "c\"olor.inc"*/
//#include "color.inc"
---------------------------8<--------------------------

Check also this line:

/*#i/*ncl*/ude */

Currently the slash in the first "*/" is not green.
It would be better, if your converter would be able
to handle nested comments, like POV itself does
(the Win  POV editor is not correct at this point).

Your every wish is my command...(don't get carried away now ;)

The much awaited, the queued-at-the-door-for, limited edition, version 0.0.2
is here. (whilst stocks last)

Take a look at http://www.mrhanford.com\povray\content\pov2html\test.html
for your test.  I have only been going by the WinPOV syntax highlighting so
far, so if you can think of any other "perculiarities" that I might have
missed, please let me know.

I suppose I need to work on the UI a bit, so again any suggestions,
requests, feedback, etc would be greatfully received...

In your demo i_internal.html a lot of keywords are not highlighted.
Is there a special reason you use 'strong' instead of 'span'?

thanks, a whole load of stuff was broken by my last fix :)

I use strong so that if a person doesn't have a style sheet, or is using a
non-CSS browser they'll still see some difference in the keywords.  Appart
from that it was a largely arbitrary decision.

A new version will be out soon that highlights keywords from the distributed
include files, such as functions and colours.

For anyone still following this thread, there is a new update to the
POV2HTML converter on my website now.

It now optionally highlights some of the official #included keywords
(currently colors.inc, textures.inc, metals.inc and functions.inc)

Fairly soon I hope to have v1.0.0 available, so please, if anyone has any
suggestions or requests let me know.

TTFN,
