RE: Prototype of simple tool for converting HTML5 into XHTML+ITS

Hi Jirka, Felix,

 

Sorry I haven’t had the time to test the tool yet Jirka.

It certainly sounds useful to consume an HTML5 file with a tool only XML aware.

 

I’m not sure yet if this will be useable for Okapi or not. We tend to use round-trip tools where we would output back the same format as in input at the end of the process. So we would probably need to convert back the XML to HTML5. I’m not saying you should implement it as I don’t know if we’ll be using this conversion.

 

I’ll try to find some time to test it as soon as possible.

 

Thanks,

-yves

Great, thanks. 

 

To reply to your other questions: I think a service of the form "HTTP get request with URI of HMTL5 file", response with the output your offline tool creates, would be useful. But other implementors should speak up too what's easiest to integrate in their tool chains.

Hi Felix,

I planned to think about this. Probably I will create switch which can
be used to enable/disable such functionality.
