Detailed Description

Hooks to collect style information separately.

Introduction

To display text with NME markup, there are two possibilities:

• Convert NME input to some other markup which can be displayed directly, such as HTML, XML or RTF. This requires only a call to NMEProcess, maybe with custom NMEOutputFormat. For example, HTML could be used with a WebBrowser ActiveX control in Windows, or RTF with replaceCharactersInRange:withRTF: in Cocoa (Mac OS X).
• Convert NME to text, collecting information about style separately, and apply this style information to spans of text.

NMEStyle offers support for this latter one. The NMEOutputFormat should produce pure text with end-of-line conventions appropriate for the platform, typically without wordwrap.

Usage

The code sample below is reduced to the minimum. See NME.h to see how memory allocation can be handled.

    #include "NME.h"
    #include "NMEStyle.h"

    NMEText input;
    NMEInt inputLength;
    (read source of length inputLength into input)
    NMEInt size = ...; // buffer size, typically initialized to 2x inputLength
    NMEText buf;
    buf = malloc(size);
    NMEText output;
    NMEInt outputLength;
    NMEErr err;
    for (;;)
    {
        err = NMEProcess(input, inputLength,
            buf, size,
            kNMEProcessOptDefault, "\n", &NMEOutputFormatHTML, 0,
            &output, &outputLength);
        if (err == kNMEErrNotEnoughMemory)  // unlikely
        {
            (increase size)
            (realloc buf)
        }
        else
            break;
    }
    if (err == kNMEErrOk)
        (write outputLength first bytes of output[])
    else
        (handle error)
    free(buf);

Function Documentation

void NMEStyleInit	(	NMEStyleTable *	table,
		NMEInt	size,
		NMEBoolean	convertOffsetsToUnicode
	)

Initialize NMEStyleTable.

Parameters:

[out]	table	table of style spans
[in]	size	size of table in bytes
[in]	convertOffsetsToUnicode	TRUE if original text is in UTF-8 and span locations in table must be converted to values for UCS-16 text (16-bit unicode), FALSE if span locations in table are in bytes (independant from the chararcter encoding)

Definition at line 57 of file NMEStyle.c.

NMEErr NMEStyleSpanHook	(	NMEInt	level,
		NMEInt	item,
		NMEBoolean	enter,
		NMEConstText	markup,
		NMEInt	srcIndex,
		NMEContext *	context,
		void *	data
	)

Process hook for storing styles in a table.

Parameters:

[in]	level	heading or list level (1 = topmost)
[in]	item	list item or heading counter
[in]	enter	TRUE when entering construct, FALSE when exiting
[in]	markup	null-terminated string for initial markup ("p" for par, "*" for unnumbered list of any level, "//" for italic, "{{{" for preformatted)
[in]	srcIndex	current index in source code
[in,out]	context	current context
[in,out]	data	table of styles

Returns:

error code (kNMEErrOk for success)
