Examples of AscToHTM conversion
]]
This file contains links to examples of [AscToHTM] conversions. AscToHTM did, of course,
create *this* HTML file from this [[SOURCE_FILE]].[[BR]]
Here's a contents list for this file:-
$_$_CONTENTS_LIST
Small Examples
==============
A weekly USENET post of CNET's newsletter
-----------------------------------------
o Here's the [cnet HTML] version.
o Here's the [cnet text] original.
o Here's the [cnet policy] file.
In this case a small policy file has been used to :-
o add background colour and a title
o limit the text size of the contents list
(Note, some of these features are added in V1.04, only available to
registered users at this time)
A typical MS-DOS help text file
-------------------------------
This one started life as C:/WINDOWS/MSDOSDRV.TXT
o Here's the [dos HTML] version.
o Here's the [dos text] version.
In this example no post-processing has been done (except to add a link
at the top), so you will see a number of residual errors (if you look
hard enough :). This example has a generated contents list in a
separate file. Again, note the automatic table detection has worked a
treat.
Large Examples
==============
The majority of this website :)
-------------------------------
Including _this_ page.
We practice what we preach. Most of the pages on this site are converted from
text using AscToHTM. Just look for the logo below at the foot of each page.
$_$_BEGIN_HTML
$_$_END_HTML
Many of the pages offer a [[SOURCE_FILE]] hyperlink which allows you to look at the original
text file. Since we use state-of-the art versions of the software, sometimes we use features
not yet releaseed. We always welcome enquiries on how pages were made. Simply email
*info@ jafsoft.com*.
JafSoft's Introduction to the Internet
--------------------------------------
[Course] is a suite of HTML pages has been generated from a single master text
file (3,500 lines worth). Extensive use of AscToHTM's "link dictionary" feature has been
made to add links to the glossary at key points in the text.
This example has had no post-conversion corrections made. That is, what you see is what
AscToHTM produced, raw.
The AscToHTM on-line documentation
----------------------------------
Naturally both the hTML and RTF versions of the AscToHTM [onlinedoco] are
produced by our own software from a text file. The Windows Help file isn't
(and it's an utter pain to write, see the cribsheet)... we may just have to
write some software to do that too.
This documentation is supplied to users in "kit form" when you download AscToHTM, so
that you can "roll your own" copy of the doco.
Again this demonstrates AscToHTM's ability to break a single document
into separate HTML pages, with a contents list, navigation bars and
standard headers and footers.
This example has added JavaScript. If you're running Netscape 3.0 move
your mouse over the image in the top left. The extent to which you can
add JavaScript is fairly limited though.
It also demonstrates TABLE generation in quite a few places. You can
view the files used to generate this document.
Embedded HTML has been used to insert images.
Again, no post-conversion corrections have been made.
External Sites
==============
Many of our users prefer to keep their use of AscToHTM a "trade secret". So a special
thank you to sites who have allowed us to link to them
$_$_BEGIN_IGNORE
An Astology site
----------------
http://dyna.iperweb.com/astrology/index.html
Many of the help files and other pages on this site are converted by AscToHTM. This user has
used AscToHTM to convert large documents into sections, generate a
contents list and add links to other pages on their site.
$_$_END_IGNORE
The rec.woodworking FAQ
-----------------------
http://www.robson.org/woodfaq/
The author has used AscToHTM to split a large document into pages, and used AscToHTM's
ability to insert header and footer HTML to good effect by using this to place each page
inside a standard navigations "frame". He's also used AscToHTM to
choose a colour scheme suited to the topic.
As far as I can make out, little post-conversion (if any) has been
necessary. This allows the FAQ to be maintained in text - a more
suitable format for mailing and posting to USENET.
The Red Alert FAQ
-----------------
Here is version 1.04 of Roger Wong's excellent Red Alert FAQ. This is the last free
version of the FAQ which Roger has agreed we can convert to HTML and host.
If you want a copy to keep on your hard disk download this [Raf zip] file
o Here's the (127k) [Raf HTML] version
o Here's the (127k) [Raf text] version
In this example no pre-processing was required (for example notice how
the tables in chapter 13 were recognised as tables and marked up
accordingly).
The original document is over 2,000 lines long. That's not a problem,
AscToHTM has been known to convert documents 25 times larger. There's
no theoretical limit to the size of file (a registered) AscToHTM can handle, as
the program is designed to work within a fixed amount of memory.
Using AscToHTM Roger Wong has produced a multi-paged HTML version 2.00
of this FAQ. This newer version is now available commercially.

NOTE: AscToHTM is made available FREE to FAQ maintainers.
$_$_BEGIN_IGNORE
Alastair Ainslie's comprehensive comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic FAQ
--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.personal.u-net.com/~cloud9/apsa/games/csipgs.htm
Both parts were originally converted using AscToHTM, though a fair bit of work has been done
since. They are 76k and 182k respectively.
