ANNC: divaLINK - convert text into links, automatically

I am happy to announce the release of a new Extension for
Dreamweaver:
divaLINK. Using unobtrusive javascripting, it will convert
plain text
urls to hyperlinks, and (optionally) plain text email
addresses to
mailto: links, all on-the-fly in the browser.
I foresee two main applications for divaLINK:
1) Your client supplies you with pages of content which
contain plain
text urls and email addresses, and naturally wants them all
linked.
You've been doing this tedious task manually for years.
Haven't we all?
2) Your pages are dynamically driven (i.e. the content is
supplied by a
database) and you'd like the urls and email addresses within
it to be
real links. Up until now there was no way to accomplish this
on the
server side.
In addition to the automatic linking, options are offered to:
* add a subject to the mailto: link
* replace the visible email address with boilerplate text
* add "rel=nofollow" to the created <a> tag
* insert <wbr> tags to allow conditional wrapping of
long urls and
email addresses
I do hope you find it useful.

  • Convert all URL text into links

    How can Dreamwaever convert all URL text in a document into live links? It takes a very long time to convert them individually after copying a large text file full of links. There should be a command to find all hyperlinks and mail addresses and convet them quickly and easily. Or an extension like the one I had for GoLive. It saved me hours of time every week.

    You could convert text URLs to hyperlinks with PHP and reg expressions. 
    Or try this online converter.

  • Convert Text

    Since I have been posting to these forms, I have been annoyed by the conversions that are done to my posts. A word surrounded by asterisks gets bolded. When I decide to make a link to a post, I can never remember the exact format. When I posted AppleScript code, I found that it is squish to the left. The AppleScript I have posted here gets around these problems.
    usage: What you need to do is copy the text that you wish to post to the clipboard then run this AppleScript then paste the text into your post.
    Robert
    This AppleScript program is designed to convert HTML links to forum posts, to convert special characters to their HTML symbols, and to preserve formatting.  
    1)  When the clipboard contains a link to a forum reply page.
     The AppleScript forums designers  specify a roundabout way for you to reference a particular web post.  Here is that way:
     a) Find the particular post you wish to reference.  
     b) Click on the reply icon.  
     c) Copy  the Web address to the clipboard .  
     d) Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address.  
     e) Paste the converted Web address into your post.
      For example,  this AppleScript will convert this Web address:
        http://discussions.apple.com/post&#033;reply.jspa?messageID=9003196
      into this Web address:
              http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9003196&#035;9003196
    2)  Assume that the clipboard contains text to convert.  
     Many of the special characters are used to indicate formatting in the forums.
     See "Other formating tags are available as shown below" in
     http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa
     This AppleScript will converted to HTML these special symbols in order to preserve the original characters. Also, this AppleScript preserves indentation used in programs or Terminal output.
     a) Copy  the text to the clipboard .  
     b) Run this AppleScript to convert the text
     c) Paste the converted text into your post.
     For example,  the asterisks will be preserved:
       mac $ ls *oup*
       Youpi Key Editor.plist  Youpi Key.app alias  
     For example,  the indentation will be preserved:
       on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving dropped_items
         repeat with dropped_item_ref in dropped_items
           display dialog "dropped files is " & dropped_item_ref
         end repeat
       end adding folder items to

    The first thing that you need to do is to make the text into an AppleScript program.
    start the AppleScript Editor
    /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
    copy the text to the Applescript editor.
    save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
    !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3544/3390737677_645a847e28.jpg?v=0!
    now, let's build a link to a post.
    get the link to a reply.
    Goto this Webpage:
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9003196
    Copy the Web page address from the top of your Web browser page. This is the standard highlight the address then do a command+c
    Now you should run my AppleScript program by going back to the Script Editor. Optional, click the words *event log* to see the debug information. Click on the run icon.
    !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3391549168_9ce8b6fcd9.jpg?v=0!
    The link has been modified. Paste the link onto your Web page. This is the standard command+v.
    For a more typical usage, placed the program on the dock or make an alias on the desktop.

    Name: alter-clipboard
    Input: Clipboard
    Output: Clipboard
    This AppleScript program is designed to convert a forum-reply web address  to a link to a forum post, to convert special characters to their HTML symbols, and to convert programming language code to a  form that does not get mangled.
    1)   When you wish to reference another Apple discussion forum post, I found the process convoluted.  The Apple form software does not provide for the display of a form post link.  Instead, you must  construct the link from a reply post.  This AppleScript simplifies the process.
     When the clipboard contains a link to a forum reply page, do the conversion.
     Here is that way:
     a) Find the particular post you wish to reference.  
     b) Click on the reply icon.  
     c) Copy  the Web address to the clipboard  (command+c).  
     d) Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address.  
     e) Paste (command+v) the converted Web address into your post.
      For example, you:  
      • Want to reference a post on how to improve the performance of Tiger.  You find a post by Texas Mac Man with a list of possibilities.  
      • Click on the Reply option and highlight the Web address because you know the address contains a reference to this post.
      • Type command+c to copy the address to the clipboard.  The clipboard now contains:
       http://discussions.apple.com/post&#033;reply.jspa?messageID=9124252
      •  Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address. The clipboard now contains:  
             http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9124252&#035;9124252
      • Type command+v to paste the address  into your new post.
    2)  Assume that the clipboard contains  special symbols or formated programming language code to convert.  
     This AppleScript will converted special symbols used in these forums to a form not used by the forum software in order to preserve the original characters.
     For the symbols, see:
     See "Other formating tags are available as shown below" in
     http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa&#035;format
     An alternative to using these symbols is document in this post:
     http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607563
     Also, this AppleScript preserves indentation used in programs or Terminal output.
     a) Copy  the text to the clipboard .  
     b) Run this AppleScript to convert the text
     c) Paste the converted text into your post.
     For example,  the asterisks will be preserved:
       mac $ ls *oup*
       Youpi Key Editor.plist  Youpi Key.app alias  
     For example,  the indentation will be preserved:
       on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving dropped_items
         repeat with dropped_item_ref in dropped_items
           display dialog "dropped files is " & dropped_item_ref

  • Can Java convert text in to three dimensional forms?

    Hi,
    I'm an MA student at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. I'm currently working on a project to convert text, entered onscreen by users, into three dimensional forms when initiated by clicking on a button. Each 3D form is to be unique to the text entered. Does anyone know how best to do this and whether Java is the best tool for this? Any help or ideas that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your help, the link is a great starting point in the development of my project, but its not the "nail on the head", which is my fault. On reading back my last posts it seems I omitted a key word (sorry, my mistake) in the description of what I want to do, which is: "…can Java convert text into abstract three dimensional forms?" By abstract three dimensional forms I was hoping to create something along the lines of what is possible with Rhinoscript, here is an example of the type of visual I want to be able create from the transformation of user entered text using computer code: http://www.theverymany.net/uploaded_images/080108_Srf_Test001_01_k_TVM-718625.jpg. I hope this sheds some light on the direction I'm hoping to take, so if you or anyone else can offer any more help or pointers I will be eternally grateful.
    Thanks

  • Text into shape

    Is there an app that I would be able to use to convert text into a shape? Trying to make an autism tattoo that is the shape of a puzzle but would like words to be printed in the shape.
    Thanks,
    Tracy

    You could try experimenting with type on a path. In the Inspector, under the Layout Tab, Layout Method>Path. Under Path Shape>Geometry. Create a Shape that your type can flow along into the cup, and put that in the Shape Source well. Animate the Path Offset to make the type move along the path. Perhaps a series of these will do the trick.

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Convert/join multiple file formats (doc, pdf, text) into 1 single PDF/A using web services

    We would like to purchase LiveCycle for the PDF Generator feature, but we want to know if it will meet our technical requirements.
    We would like to convert a PDF, an HTML, a DOCX, and some custom text into 1 single PDF/A. Basically: joining 3 different files types and some text into 1 very long PDF/A file. Can we do this type of join?
    Also, we would like to install LiveCycle on a central server and then call a web service or use an API where we can input the 3 different files and the text and as output we would get 1 PDF/A back. Obviously there might be intermediary steps, but in essence we need to be able to do this conversion from our custom code by calling some LiveCycle API.
    Thanks!

    You can use Assembler service with PDFGenerator. There is support for Web Service endpoints(SOAP). Please go through this for details : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/Overview/lc_overview_ds.pdf

  • I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
    Please guide me further.

    Take us through this in more detail.
    What is the Word file? From a PC?
    What version of Word and what is the file extension?
    What is it about the text that is different?
    When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?
