chtml Testing

Probably should have mentioned that the interactive mode isn't quite upgraded yet, and the readme is reflective of that as well. Been working on making the functionality work with the settings file parsing.

Notepad doesn't interpret newline characters properly. It only likes carriage return gobbley-gook.

What about making it a more traditional windows program with some sort of GUI? I'd be more inclined to fudge around with it.

The only user interaction is choosing some settings, which in the current implementation is best done with settings.ini. A GUI would be a lot of work (possibly more than the rest of the program) to basically replicate a text file.

It shouldn't be all that hard to make two text fields for input and output directories plus some radio buttons for the output options.

win32 gui code in c++ (and most languages) is quite messy. A gui written with it that does little more than draw the settings file with buttons isn't a big concern at this point in time. What I am concerned with is making the program work.

Hey, it's ok for me if your fancy computer engineering UC program doesn't teach you the skills to program for modern computers.

However, because I like this idea so much (the .html generation thing) I will purposely try and parse something after my exam today.

I have added a preliminary gui frontend (chtmlgui.exe):

chtml_2006_04_29a.zip

You might need to get the library file MFC71.dll if you can not run chtmlgui.exe. You should be able to place it in the chtml folder and get the gui to run. If not, placing it in Windows\System32 should work.

I should also mention that the file menu doesn't do much of anything. I might add the ability to load and save settings files in the future, or I might delete it.

Edit:

Fixed an issue with image file extension.
