I'm using python docutils and the rst2html.py script to convert restructured text to html.
I want to convert a line like this:
Test1 `(link1) <C:/path with spaces/file.html>`_
Into something like this:
<p>Test1 <a class="reference external" href="C:/path with spaces/file.html">(link1)</a>
But instead I get this (spaces in path are dropped):
<p>Test1 <a class="reference external" href="C:/pathwithspaces/file.html">(link1)</a>
How do I preserve the whitespace in links?
I don't know how you are grabbing the line from the file (or stdin), but you should convert the link related string to HTML entities. You can find more information in the following link Escaping HTML - Python Wiki.
Hope this help you.

How can I make a link inside a string in RST?
Like so:
ImInTheMiddelOfAString - without adding spaces between The and Middle and Middle and Of.
But in reStructuredText (RST).
If I simply write the rst like so:
ImInThe`Middel <http://foo.com>`_OfAString
I get this as the result (so no link):
ImInThe`Middel <http://foo.com>`_OfAString
If I write this:
ImInThe `Middel <http://foo.com>`_OfAString
I get an error, and finally if I write this:
ImInThe `Middel <http://foo.com>`_ OfAString
I get the link but with spaces in between:
ImInThe Middel OfAString
I found out that I can use backslash to escape the space.
So this:
ImInThe\ `Middel <http://foo.com>`_\ OfAString
Gives me the right result:
ImInTheMiddelOfAString
In the adoc file I define a chapter header like:
== [big-number]#2064# Das Spiele-Labor
For HTML that translates to
<span class="big-number">2064</span>
For the epub-Version, converted with asciidoctor-epub, apparently the class is omitted. The code line in the converter.rb:
<h1 class="chapter-title">#{title_upper}#{subtitle ? %[ <small class="subtitle">#{subtitle_formatted_upper}</small>] : nil}</h1>
(/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/asciidoctor-epub3-1.5.0.alpha.7.dev/lib/asciidoctor-epub3/converter.rb)
How can I get the class information over to the chapter-title to format the first number in a special way?
Or is there another way to solve this? (The first number of the chapter title should be large and CSS hasn't got a 'first-word' attribute)
I'm currently trying to build a chat app, using the official markdown package as well as underscore's escape function, and my template contains something like this:
<span class="message-content">
{{#markdown}}{{text}}{{/markdown}}
</span>
When I grab the text from the chat input box, I try to escape any HTML and then add in line breaks. safeText is then inserted into the database and displayed in the above template.
rawText = $("#chat-input-textbox").val();
safeText = _.escape(rawText).replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g, '\n');
The normal stuff like headings, italics, and bold looks okay. However, there are two major problems:
Code escape issue - With the following input:
<script>alert("test")</script>
```
alert('hello');
```
This is _italics_!
Everything looks fine, except the alert('hello'); has become alert('hello'); instead. The <pre> blocks aren't rendering the escaped characters, which makes sense. But the problem is, the underscore JS escape function escapes everything.
SOLVED: Line break Issue - With the following input:
first
second
third
I get first second third being displayed with no line breaks. I understand this could be a markdown thing. Since I believe you need an empty line between paragraphs to get linebreaks in markdown. But having the above behaviour would be the most ideal, anyone know how to do this?
UPDATE Line break issue has been solved by adding an extra \n to my regex. So now I'm making sure that any line break will be represented with at least two \n characters (i.e. \n\n).
You should check the showdown docs and the wiki article they have on the topic.
The marked npm package, which is used by Telescope removes disallowed-tags. These include <script> of course. As the article I linked to above explains, there's still another problem with this:
<a href='javascript:alert("kidding! Im more the world domination kinda guy. Muhahahah")'>
click me for world peace!
</a>
Which isn't prevented by marked. I'd follow the advice of the author and use a HTML sanitation library. Like OWASP's ESAPI or Caja's html-sanitizer. Both of these project's seem outdated dough. I also found a showdown extension for it called showdown-xss-filter. So my advice is to write your own helper, and use showdown-xss-filter.
I have several Wordpress HTML pages for import through CSV/excel. One of the fields is content for the Wordpress page. Since these pages are all the same except for in 3 places (2 names, 1 IMG URL) I'm trying to be efficient and upload an excel with custom fields.
What I'd like to do is merge the IMG urls and Product Names into the appropriate spot in the Excel cell text so it's imported as a complete page. I'm trying to avoid all the cutting and pasting when adding 100's of similar pages with only a few different spots.
Any tips or advice on where I can accomplish this? I haven't been able to figure it out or find help online.
Cell Data Example:
<div id="productimage" style="float:left;width:380px;">
<img alt="alternate" src="imagesource" />
</div>
<div id="productspecs" style="float:left;padding-left:25px;">
<h2><strong>Product Name</strong></h2>
</div>
"Product Name", "alternate", and "imagesource" I have fields for in a spreadsheet .. I just don't know how to merge them into this Cell Data Example to auto-populate these new pages.
Thanks!
If I understand your question correctly, you have html in an Excel cell and you want to make parts of that html dynamic by referencing content in other cells of the workbook.
I assume that in your example you want to make the imagesource and the Product Name dynamic.
You can copy and paste the html into the Excel formula editor. You can increase its height, so you see more than one line at a time. The formula editor can handle line breaks.
If you want to build a string that contains double quotes, you will need to use two double quotes if the quote is inside the string and three double quotes in a row if it is at the beginning or end of a string. You can use the ampersand to concatenate strings and cell references.
With your specific example above, the formula in Excel would read somewhere along these lines (replace Sheet2!A2 etc. with the cell that holds your data. Arrange that data in a table with a row for each product, then you can copy this formula down to get the desired result.
="<div id=""productimage"" style=""float:left;width:380px;"">
<img alt=""alternate"" src="""&Sheet2!A2&""" />
</div>
<div id=""productspecs"" style=""float:left;padding-left:25px;"">
<h2><strong>"&Sheet2!B2&"</strong></h2>
</div>"
Turn on "Wrap Text" in the cell format, otherwise you will see it all in one line of code. The screenshot below uses two rows of data with different texts for image source and product name in sheet 2.
EDIT: I tried to post this in a comment, but the double and triple quotes don't make it and get replaced with just one quote.
Also, you managed to delete some of the & signs that concatenate the different strings. Please look again at the original formula I've posted. Replace the cell references with yours, but don't mangle the code. The principle is this:
="First String"&A1&"Next String"
If the string has quotes inside, double them
="He said "Please" but nobody heard him"&A1&"next string"
If the string has quotes at the beginning of the string, then you need the opening quote for the string and the double quote for the quote inside the string. Likewise for quotes at the end of the string: duplicate the quote in the string and then add the closing quote.
="""Please" - he said"&A1&"and she answered "OK."""
I'm new to Restructured Text and am trying to write a document that refers to a project with an "at" sign in the name, something like "Foo#BAR". When I convert the .rst file into HTML using the docutils "rst2html" tool, this is converted into a "mailto" link. If I use double backticks for verbatim rendering, it is turned into monospace text. How can I get it to be rendered in the normal text font, and not converted into a link?
You can use character escaping to include an # within a word. In reStructuredText the escape character is \, so try using Foo\#BAR in your document.
