xmltohtml — converts xml Scilab help files to html
xmltohtml(dirs [,titles [,xsl [,step]]])
| dirs | : vector of strings: a set of directory paths for which html manuals are to be generated or [] |
| titles | : vector of strings: titles associated to directory paths or [] |
| xsl | : string, name of xsl file used for translation |
| step | : string, should be "whatis", "index", "html","contents", or "all" |
converts xml Scilab help files contained in a set of directories into html files.
In a first step ("whatis") a whatis.htm file is generated in each directory using information given in the "SHORT_DESCRIPTION" tag of each xml file and the given title.
In a second step ("index") the tags LINK are analysed, and xmltohtml tries to resolve the references using the already known help files defined in the %helps variable.
The third step ("html") it translates the xml file to html using external program xsltproc and the given xsl file which should be located in SCIDIR/man/LANGUAGE/ The generated html files are located together with the corresponding xml ones.
the last step ("contents") produces a contents.xml file
if dirs is [] then already defined help directories (see %helps(:,1)) are assumed and titles are searched in %helps(:,2). So xmltohtml([]) updates currents html files
