@jws I just like how clean the syntax is. Looks like something that is quick to whip up code in.
Eventually, I want to write a c++ DOM document handler that does everything I want (For XML and HTML).
I need this code soonish though.
Hmmm…I might just do this in golang.
If it has functionality similar to java.util.zip, I could build the ePub with it too.
Hmmm.
@larand Sounds like you and I pissed off the same God and got sent to the same Hell.
Seems to easy to load xml/xhtml source into a DOM object, pick a section root, build an iterator of certain tags within the section and clear or modify attributes or delete other tags altogether and associate the content with the parent tag….until you start writing the code.
The more I look at golang, the more I like it. I looked at it once, sparingly, when it was first coming out but didn't really pay attention because "yet another language doomed to become an academic wank-fest."
I developed this attitude largely because "ADA is the future. You must learn this" and "Modula2 will revolutionize teaching structured programming"
@jws Yeah. I'm needing something that will allow me to modify or completely remove certain attributes. I also strip all <FONT> tags from ebook source docs as well as others that cause an ePub to fail epubcheck.
Note: Those that do fail work just fine but Barnes & Nobel will refuse to put a title in their store if it fails. Apple is about as bad.
