Atlantis HTML Utility

jpavel · Post by **jpavel** » Tue Nov 07, 2017 6:34 pm

Hello all,

I've written a little program to post-process HTML files exported by Atlantis, to make them visually a bit more pleasing, and to compensate for a few bugs in Atlantis v2 regarding HTML that I encountered.

I've been using the program for my own documents, but I figured I'd write a user's guide and put it online too.

Cheers,
Jesse

Could you please be more specific: what bugs do you mean?

Basically, tabs in the Atlantis document are not reflected in the HTML output:

1. If you look at the "orignal HTML" of the user's guide, you'll see that in the TOC the leading "...."s come -before- the TOC entry. Similarly, in numbered lists in which a Tab separates the list digit from the list item, that tab is missing from the HTML output.

Atlantis v1 exported HTML properly in both these regards. I've not yet tried v3.

For reference, here is the original RTF file:

Best,
Jesse

Were you able to replicate this issue on your setup? Is it something unique to my documents?

Regards,

I am not sure that understand how you expect the tab characters to be reflected in HTML.

If you believe that there is a bug in Atlantis Word Processor, please provide us with a sample document and the step-by-step instructions to reproduce the problem.

I've attached a ZIP containing 5 files:

Atlantis HTML Export Test.rtf
Atlantis HTML Export Test - v1.html
Atlantis HTML Export Test - v1.pdf
Atlantis HTML Export Test - v2.html
Atlantis HTML Export Test - v2.pdf

which are the original Atlantis RTF document, and PDF and HTML exports from version 1.6.6.5 and 2.0.6.0. The PDFs are there to show how the two versions render the document identically on-screen and in print.

In the HTML versions, however, v1 (from 1.6.6.5) is rendered properly.

But in v2 (from 2.0.6.0) the Table of Contents is garbled because the tab that separates the Heading from the page # is missing, and also notice how the list item numbers do not have any separation from the list item text. The Tab character at the beginning of a line, though, is rendered properly.

Best,
Jesse

Thanks for the files. But I cannot reproduce the problem in the latest version of Atlantis Word Processor.

You are correct - v3.1.1.0 exports HTML properly. The issue is only with the v2 series.

Thanks for testing it out - I've upgraded to 3.1.1 and all is well.
