Pretty Print
Hi,
Is there a 'pretty-print' extension, similar to the function
in XML Spy except for HTML and Dreamweaver?
Basically, it takes something like (a)
And turns it into (b)
Thanks
Example:
Um, do you mean somthng like the DW menu: Commands > Apply

Any ideas on a nice BSP view pretty printer?
Hi there,
I am wondering whether somebody already tried to extend the SAP standard pretty printer by an own functionality which fits better for pages with mixed content, containing not only BSP-elements but also HTML-tags.
The standard pretty printer considers everything as plain text which is not a BSP-element and leaves it unaltered. Only BSP-elements are arranged according to their tree structure.
This produces ugly results for pages with mixed content.
1.) Requirement
A Pretty Printer for HTML-based BSP views should cover the following:
(a) HTML-Tags and BSP-elements together form the chain. As in following example:
<z:table table_id="testTab" binding="//test/gt_test" rows="5">
<z:tableBody position="top">
<colgroup>
<col width="4%">
<col width="96%">
</colgroup>
</z:tableBody>
<z:column name="type" header="<%=zcl_bsp_util=>dtel_text_s('EDI_TTYP')%>"
listPos="10"/>
<z:column name="text" listPos="20"></z:column>
</z:table>
(b) Certain HTML formatting tags like I, B, etc. should not be added to the stack but be treated inline.
(c) HTML-attribute names should be converted to lower case, the attribute values should be quoted.
(d) Like for BSP-elements, there should be a threshold after which the attributes should appear in separate lines. Instead of a certain maximum "number of attributes", this could also be a maximum number of characters per line.
(e) Scripting Tags (<% ... %>) should start at a new line, if the content contains new-lines.
(f) Evaluation Scripting (<%= ... %>) should be inline, if they are contained within text nodes (and not within HTML oder BSP element nodes).
(g) The Pretty Printer should be parametrizable (with parameters like indent-depth,... ).
2.) Exits?
Of course, one could always use an external HTML editor and write an add-on for that editor which produces the desired result. Or one could take the view content into the clipboard, paste it into a plain text editor like UltraEdit or TextPad which allows external commands, apply an external, self-written pretty printer to it and then paste the result back into the View. But it would be easier to use the "Pretty Printer" button directly to get the result. Therefore the question arises at which point the standard Pretty Printer Functionality could be modified or extended.
I didn't find an exit. But the pretty-print itself is doubly-decoupled in the standard which minimizes the number of points where an extension has to be made:
2.a) First decoupling point: The Fcode handler method pretty_printer_ext( ) in cl_o2_page is calling
dynamically a method in cl_o2_co2_processor:
* call pretty printer
create object pp type ('CL_O2_CO2_PROCESSOR').
appl_str = me->pagekey-applname.
page_str = me->pagekey-pagekey.
try.
CALL METHOD pp->('PRETTY_PRINT')
EXPORTING
indent = 2
ATTRIBUTE_NORMALIZE = 'X'
ATTRIBUTE_THRESHOLD = 2
BSP_UNFORMATTED = source
appl = appl_str
page = page_str
IMPORTING
test_ok = test_ok
BSP_FORMATTED = pp_source.
catch cx_o2_co2_exception into o2ex.
2.b) Second decoupling point:
The method pretty_print() of class cl_o2_co2_processor (fancy names, by the way. It seems that many former chemistry students had joined the BSP team ),
there is a second delegation, to a local class, as follows:
data pretty type ref to LCL_BSP_PRETTY_PRINT.
pretty = LCL_BSP_PRETTY_PRINT=>getInstance( processor = me ).
The real logic for doing the Pretty Print, finally, is performed in this local class.
3.) Implementation.
Since, up to my knowledge, there is no HTML parser in the ABAP world,
the implementation could be based on existing HTML Parsers, like the Perl module Parser::HTML, or the Java package http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/ . The pretty printer could then be called as external OS command.
Are there any ideas out there? Or is there somebody who already worked in this direction?
Regards,
RüdigerFor those who are interested. I found out that the Dave Ragget's classic "HTML Tidy" (see <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/">http://tidy.sourceforge.net/</a> ) is available in ABAP! There is a class CL_HTMLTIDY (at least here in my SAP_BASIS 700 system) which wraps calls of HTML Tidy by kernel modules.
The class is undocumented, but there are 2 OSS notes of this year for it, so it might well be that it is alive.
HTML Tidy can surely not directly be used for Pretty Printing BSP views, but for designing test cases or for doing things like HTML parsing, it might be a helpful tool. -
Is there better way to do this? (Xml Pretty Print | node removing)
Hi all, I have been working at home on a small project to help my Java Jedi training. :-)
My app saves quotes from authors in an xml file.
I have a class [XmlRepository extends Thread] that holds control of an xml file to handle requests for Nodes.
When I remove a node I get a Line Space above the node that was removed, or better put my node gets replaced by a empty line.
Pretty print or correct Node removing.
part of my xml is like this (I have resumed it for readability):

No, there's already a new-line character after the node that was removed. And there was one before that node too. You didn't remove either of those, so after the removal there are two consecutive new-line characters. As you can see.
And no, trying to pretty-print the XML document won't remove any of those. It might add whitespace to make the document nicely indented, but it won't ever remove whitespace. If you want whitespace removed then you'll have to do it yourself.
For example, after you remove a node, also remove the node following it if it's a whitespace text node. Or something like that. -

Hi Everybody,
I have an issue with linefeed in ABAP Mapping.The ouput document generated by ABAP Mapping is as follow:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?<Header Node><T_H><SEND_ID value="XYZ"/>
<REC_ID value="PQR"/>
<DATE value="2007"/>
</T_H>
<O_H><L_NO value="252517"/>
<W_NO value="298"/>
<U_NO value="298"/>
</O_H>
</Header Node>
If we can see the above payload, i have the <Header Node> coming in the same line as that of the utf-8 and also the subnode <T_H> starting in the same line and its first field <SEND_ID > in the same line.The same is repeating for the second subnode <O_H>. I want to do a pretty print for this payload.I have used the method <b>set_pretty_print( )</b> in the ABAP Mapping, but there is no effect of this on the output.
To make it clear let me give the required output Xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?
<Header Node>
<T_H>
<SEND_ID value="XYZ"/>
<REC_ID value="PQR"/>
<DATE value="2007"/>
</T_H>
<O_H>
<L_NO value="252517"/>
<W_NO value="298"/>
<U_NO value="298"/>
</O_H>
</Header Node>
Can anybody help me out on this.
Thanks & Regards,
ZabiulaInsert a new line character as per the ABAP rules in the generated XML. It is normally "/n" for microsoft based languages. Not sure what it is in ABAP. May be an ABAPer must be able to help you.

Xerces 2.6, setIndent(0), 1.4.2 not working. XML always pretty printing
Hello.
I would like to take a string that contains xml and strip out all new lines, whitespace between tags, etc. So basically everything will be on one line.
So I thought one simple way would be to run an XMLSerializer or use a Transformer. However, it's turning out to be a nightmare. I probably could have written a parser already. :)
I've tried all possible combinations of
XMLSerializer
outputFormat.setIndenting(false)
outputFormat.setIndent(0)
outputFormat.setLineWidth(0)
Transformer
transformer.setOutputProperty("indent", "no")
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}indent-amount", "0");For some reason, my XML is always pretty printed. And I can't figure it why. I was able to get the XMLSerializer version all on one line with an indent of 1, but the minute I switch to 0 it gets pretty printed.
Here's some Transformer code I'm using:
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader(input)) );
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "no");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "0");
transformer.transform(source, new StreamResult(System.out));Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<trans_data>
<input_data>
<cc>1</cc>
</input_data>
</trans_data>I've tried both 2.6.2 and 2.5.0 of Xerces and my classpath only has XercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar in it. I'm using 1.4.2-07.
Thanks,

Xml formatting (pretty print, etc)
Our MXML is getting a bit messy. (we also need a pretty
printer and simple
xml exploration and editing) for soap feeds.
1. Is there something in Eclipse now that does this?
2. Is there a publicly available plug-in
3. Is there some simple (i.e. cheap or free tool) for doing
this. XMLSpy
would be overkill.Excellent directions, Yes, this is exactly what I needed to
know. It now
works fine.
Only one item to note. Even though I did not set XMLBuddy as
the default for
*.mxml
-- If I do the context menu (right click) and choose xml
buddy, then it will
stay sticky for that file the next time. The same as with
using the
FlexBuilder mxml editor. Not a real problem but what does
"default" mean any
more if the IDE is trying to be so smart as to decide for me
what my default
should be :-)

Pretty Printer ONLY for selected lines in ABAP editor?
Hi,
I have done SETTINGS(Menu----Utilities) in PRETTY PRINTER in my ABAP editor that, all KEY WORDS shuld b in UPPER CASE.
Say, I hv written code(in raw format, not yet pressed the PRETTY PRITER) like below,
ABAP Code Line_1
ABAP Code Line_2
ABAP Code Line_3
ABAP Code Line_4
ABAP Code Line_5
I want to hv pretty printer format for Line 3 and Line 5 ONLY!! I do not want to hv it for other lines, so, I high lighted(selected) those lines (3 and 5) and pressed pretty printer, but, am getting the pretty printer format for all the rest of the code as a single shot!!
So, pls. let me know that, How I can get the pretty printer format ONLY for the lines, for which I wished(selected by high lighting)?
And also let me know, How Can I do automatic(not manually) indentation for my code as a part of pretty printer? Actually, I tried but, am not getting even though I checled the check box intendation in SETTINGS!!
Thank youHi ,
Preety printer will work on all the code that is avaliable in window,
In case. if you want to do partial , copy your code in seperate window and do Pretty Printer for it.

How to pretty print XML alerts
Hi!
I'd like to generate mail alerts in OSB which include a XML content. I need XML to be human friendly printed (that is with indentation) but XML is printed in a single line.
Is there any way to pretty print XML content in alerts (and also in alerts emails).
Thank you in advance.The example of what the OP wants it to look like I thought was quite plain. Its right at the top of the post.
Unfortunately it is also quite difficult to accomplish using System.out.print statements.
You have to print out the root of the tree first (its at the top)
However you don't know how far along to the right you need to print it without traversing the child nodes already (you need to know how deep the tree is, and how far to the left the tree extends from the root)
So you will need to traverse the tree at least twice.
Once to work out the offsets, and again to print out the values.
The working out of offsets would have to be a depth search traversal I think
The printing of the values in this fashion would be a breadth first traversal.
I remember (ages ago) doing a similar assignment, except we printed the tree sideways.
ie the root was on the left, the leaves of the tree on the right of the screen.
That meant you could do an inorder depth traversal of the tree to just print it once.
hope this helps,
