| 1 | Read INSTALL for install information, basically pretty standard
|
|---|
| 2 | requirements for a modern unix program plus libwmf to convert
|
|---|
| 3 | wmf files to something useful.
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | Theres now a small herd of programs based upon libwv.
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | 1) wvHtml, this is what you are looking for, it converts
|
|---|
| 8 | word 6,7.8,9 files to html, man wvHtml for its details
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | 2) wvHtml --config wvLaTeX.xml attempt to convert word
|
|---|
| 11 | documents to latex
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | 3) wvSummary, displays the summary information stream of *all*
|
|---|
| 14 | ole2 files, i.e excel, powerpoint, visio, access etc etc etc,
|
|---|
| 15 | ive sent wvSummary as a patch to the file program, so that utility
|
|---|
| 16 | should in the future have this ability to know what windows application
|
|---|
| 17 | created the ole2 document.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | 4) wvSimpleCLX, helps distinguish between fast and full saved
|
|---|
| 20 | files
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | 5) wvVersion, outputs the version of the word format which the document
|
|---|
| 23 | is stored as.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | Also...
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | 6) There are helper applications in the helper-scripts dir
|
|---|
| 28 | that allow both lynx and netscape to view word 8 docs easily
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | 7) The gateway dir contains the cgi script that allows the
|
|---|
| 31 | online demo page that some people wanted for themselves.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | The webpage with the online demo facility is at
|
|---|
| 35 | http://www.wvWare.com
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Finally...
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | 8) libwv can be used as a library by third party programs, abiword
|
|---|
| 40 | uses it as its word importer, and kword may use it in the future.
|
|---|
| 41 | wvHtml is a sample application for the use of wv, as is abiword
|
|---|
| 42 | itself. The library (will be some day) documented in the
|
|---|
| 43 | Documentation dir
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | 9) the config file format is (beginning to be) documented in the
|
|---|
| 46 | Documentation dir, so it may be possible to achieve the conversion
|
|---|
| 47 | that you desire without writing your own program. It also allows
|
|---|
| 48 | you to customize the html and latex output to your own tastes.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | C.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | (Projects for someone to try out with libwv include, could be
|
|---|
| 53 | commercial applications)
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | a) wvMacroRemove, deletes macros out of word files, for the security
|
|---|
| 56 | concious
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | b) wvFastToFull, converts fastsaved docs to full saved, shrinking their
|
|---|
| 59 | size usually by quite a lot, and also making them safe for security
|
|---|
| 60 | consious firms
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | c) wvCrackProtection, take the wvDecrypt97 code and make a cracker
|
|---|
| 63 | that uses the rc4 algorithm and other known bit of information to
|
|---|
| 64 | crack word documents, ala http://www.crak.com
|
|---|
| 65 |
