ExportHtml Plugin (rename from PrintHtml)

[seth007]

Fixed as promised! Thanks for this plugin, I will use it a lot.

I just tested out your annotation branch - I like!! The commands are simple enough, and I love the HTML output it creates.

How possible is it to add the annotate commands to the context menu? If the only item on there was "Toggle Annotation Mode" that would be pretty clean. Then when it's toggled, you could show a flyout menu for the misc annotation commands... something along those lines.

I'm typically a hotkey fanatic, but there's no way I'd remember all the keys for annotation. I could always ctrl-shift-p and use the commands that way of course...

Either way, I love it and will definitely use it.

I will look into context menus. I think the idea of having all the commands appear is a good idea. If context doesn't pan out, I will have one command that will show a quick panel of all the annotation commands.

Context menu will be no problem. I will also have it so that the commands will only be enabled if they can be used. So if you want to annotate a selection, you must have a selection for it to not be grayed out etc. All commands will still be available via the command palette as well. Maybe down the road I will consolidate them into a quick panel menu.

I will also add a little status message in the status bar letting you know you are in Annotation Mode.

I will try to get it into tonight. Documentation might happen later if I am lazy.

Convert code to forum post. I have seen @castles_made_sand_post posting with highlighted text, and figured now that we have the framework to print HTML color coded, why not forum posts as well.

Here is an example. I still have work to do, but stay tuned.

 396     def convert_view_to_post(self, the_post):
 397         for line in self.view.split_by_newlines(sublime.Region(self.end, self.size)):
 398             self.size = line.end()
 399             line = self.convert_line_to_post()
 400             the_post.write(self.print_line(line, self.curr_row))
 401             self.curr_row += 1
 402 
 403     def format_text(self, line, text, the_colour, the_style, highlight=False):
 404         code = (FORUM_CODE % {"color": the_colour, "content": text}).replace('\n', '')
 405         line.append(code)
 406 
 407     def convert_line_to_post(self):
 408         line = []
 409         hl_found = False
 410 
 411         # Continue highlight form last line
 412         if self.hl_continue != None:
 413             self.curr_hl = self.hl_continue
 414             self.hl_continue = None

Be nice if someone added similar annotations- with simple sample code - to the ST API page . This small improvement could make a big difference.

[facelessuser]

That is going to be it. It should support bold and italic as well.

No Gutter

    def convert_view_to_post(self, the_post):
        for line in self.view.split_by_newlines(sublime.Region(self.end, self.size)):
            self.empty_space = None
            self.size = line.end()
            line = self.convert_line_to_post()
            the_post.write(self.print_line(line, self.curr_row))
            self.curr_row += 1

Gutter

 149     def convert_view_to_post(self, the_post):
 150         for line in self.view.split_by_newlines(sublime.Region(self.end, self.size)):
 151             self.empty_space = None
 152             self.size = line.end()
 153             line = self.convert_line_to_post()
 154             the_post.write(self.print_line(line, self.curr_row))
 155             self.curr_row += 1

Forum posts will only work in forums that allow "[pre']", "[color]", "[b]", and "[i]" blocks. If you use any forum syntax blocks in your code, it will mess things up since there is really no way to escape forum blocks. Gutter numbers are allowed, but fancy styling of the gutter will not be allowed though due to the limitations of the forum post syntax; the default foreground and background color will be used. Highlighting selections will also specific words will also not be allowed due to limitations of the forum post syntax. It will copy the the code to your clipboard and/or open the code in a sublime view.

Ok, that's too cool.

It's rather beside the point (sorry!), but I was wondering about the provenance of the Print-Color theme. It looks like a black-on-white Monokai. Did you make it for this plugin or did you derive it from somewhere else?

[facelessuser]

I took the base Monokai Bright and darkened all of the colors or changed them to look decent on a white background. Changed the background to white, styled the gutter, choose a suitable color for selections etc., adjusted line coloring, blah, blah, blah. You get the idea. Colors were tweaked and adjusted where they made sense. Colors like yellow needed far more aggressive tweaking to work on white.

The Grayscale was also derived from Monokai Bright. Gutted out all colors and left only what changed the font style. Changed all text to black except comments which were light gray color...you get the idea.

I just needed something that looked okay printed, and I needed a template, so I grabbed Monokai Bright and forced it to meet my needs. So in short, I heavily modded it for this plugin.

Probably should mention that in the readme.
