While the markup macro described in the previous post does the trick of formatting Writer documents, it has one tiny drawback: it doesn't save the formatted text in a separate file, which can come in handy in many situations. So here is an updated version of the macro that formats the currently opened Writer document and saves it as a plain text file in the same directory.
Sub HTMLMarkup Dim Args(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue ThisDoc=ThisComponent MarkupHeadingsFunc("Heading 1", "<H1>", "</H1>") MarkupHeadingsFunc("Heading 2", "<H2>", "</H2>") MarkupHeadingsFunc("Heading 3", "<H3>", "</H3>") MarkupTextFunc("CharWeight", com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight.BOLD, "<B>&</B>") MarkupTextFunc("CharPosture", com.sun.star.awt.FontSlant.ITALIC, "<I>&</I>") MarkupURLFunc If (Not GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.isLibraryLoaded("Tools")) Then GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools") End If DocURL=ThisDoc.getURL() DocDir=DirectoryNameoutofPath(DocURL, "/") FileName=Left(Dir(DocURL, 0), Len(Dir(DocURL, 0))-4) Args(0).Name="FilterName" Args(0).Value="Text" TextFilePath=ConvertToURL(DocDir & "/" & FileName & ".txt") ThisDoc.StoreToURL(TextFilePath, Args()) End Sub Function MarkupHeadingsFunc (StyleName, StartTag, EndTag) ThisDoc=ThisComponent ThisText=ThisDoc.Text ParaEnum=ThisText.createEnumeration While ParaEnum.hasmoreElements Para=ParaEnum.nextElement PortionEnum=Para.createEnumeration While PortionEnum.hasMoreElements Portion=PortionEnum.nextElement If Portion.paraStyleName = StyleName then Portion.String = StartTag + Portion.String + EndTag End if Wend Wend End Function Function MarkupTextFunc(SearchAttrName, SearchAttrValue, ReplaceStr) Dim SearchAttributes(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue ThisDoc=ThisComponent SearchAttributes(0).Name=SearchAttrName SearchAttributes(0).Value=SearchAttrValue ReplaceObj=ThisDoc.createReplaceDescriptor ReplaceObj.SearchRegularExpression=true ReplaceObj.searchStyles=false ReplaceObj.searchAll=true ReplaceObj.SetSearchAttributes(SearchAttributes) ReplaceObj.SearchString=".*" ReplaceObj.ReplaceString=ReplaceStr ThisDoc.replaceAll(ReplaceObj) End Function Sub MarkupURLFunc ThisDoc=ThisComponent ThisText=ThisDoc.Text ParaEnum=ThisText.createEnumeration While ParaEnum.hasmoreElements Para=ParaEnum.nextElement PortionEnum=Para.createEnumeration While PortionEnum.hasMoreElements Portion=PortionEnum.nextElement If Portion.HyperlinkURL <> "" then Portion.String = "<A HREF=""" + Portion.HyperlinkURL +""">" +Portion.String + "</A>" End if Wend Wend End Subcomments powered by Disqus
