Script for creating XHTML

The script webxhtml.ijs can be used to create XHTML from J. The script was modified from ~system/packages/publish/web.ijs.

The main reason for putting this script here is as a reference for this query.

«webxhtml.ijs»= Script file
NB. HTML-generating utilities
NB. based on system library script jpath '~system\packages\publish\web.ijs'
addpath_z_=: adverb def '(copath~ ~.@(x&;)@copath)@(coname^:(0:=#)) :. ((copath~ copath -. (<x)"_)@(coname^:(0:=#)))'
webdefs_z_=: 'jweb' addpath
webdefs ''      NB. add jweb to start of path for current locale

cocurrent 'jweb'   NB. populate jweb locale

NB. HTML defines, among other things, Elements and Attributes
NB.   The name an element immediately follows the opening
NB.   angle bracket, eg   <img ...  or  <h1 ...
NB.   Some elements stand-alone in a document, others have
NB.   closing tags, eg   </h1>
NB.
NB.   Attributes are included in an opening tag, with or
NB.   without a value, eg   <img src="foo.gif" ismap />
NB.
NB.   In the following, four adverbs are created to create
NB.   the following elements and attributes:
NB.      tag   - Element with a closing tag, eg  <h1>...</h1>
NB.      point - Element with no closing tag, eg <img ... />
NB.      parm  - Attribute with a value, eg  size="3"
NB.      parm0 - Attribute with no value, eg  compact

NB. In the definitions below, element verbs take text to
NB. enclose in tags as a right argument.  For elements
NB. with no closing tag, the right argument is ignored.
NB.
NB. The left argument specifies attributes for the element.
NB.
NB. Eg:
NB.    H1 'This is the title'
NB. <h1>This is the title'
NB.    'align=center' H1 'This is the title'
NB. <h1 align=center>This is the title</h1>
NB.
NB. The attributes can be specified directly as the left
NB. arguments, but are more easily supplied with the set
NB. of adverbs and conjunctions constructed with the parm
NB. and parm0 definitions.  A conjunction is created for
NB. every attribute which takes a value, and an adverb for
NB. every attribute which takes none.  The result of the
NB. adverbs and conjunctions are verbs which are semantically
NB. identical to the element verbs, yet which include the
NB. specified attribute.
NB.
NB. Eg:
NB.    H1 align 'center'  'This is the title'
NB. <h1 align="center">This is the title</h1>
NB.    font color 'Blue' size '+1' 'this is some text'
NB. <font color="Blue" size="+1">this is some text</font>

NB. Utilities

NB. decorate --  general text formatter adverb.
NB. Arg is a gerund of verbs to apply.  The args of the resulting
NB. verb are:   x - sepchar followed by fmt codes, eg  '_*'
NB.                  elements correspond to elements of gerund
NB.             y - text, demarkated by {.y followed by the fmt code
NB.                  eg, '`_normal text with a `*bold`_ word.'
NB.                  two delims in a row are treated as plain text
NB. splice conjunction is utility.
NB. ftext is verb covering decorate with standard fmt codes and verbs.
NB. fdecor is adv like decorate -- arg and deriv. l.arg are more standards

NB.*join v unbox and delimit a list of boxed items y with x
NB. from forum post
NB. http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2007-June/007077.html
join=: ' '&$. : (4 : '(;@(#^:_1!.(<x))~  1 0$~_1 2 p.#) y')  NB. ignore $.

unbox1=: >^:(<:&L.) NB. unbox down to 1 level

splice=: 2 : '; @ (<@u ;. n)'

decorate=: adverb define
:
c=. <;._1 y [ d=. {.y            NB. cut along delims
g=. (+: 0: , }:) mt=. (0: = #@>) c  NB. mask over groups to be merged.
c=. g <@; ;. 1 c,&.>mt<@#"0 d      NB. merge groups and add plain delim
(1#~#c) (u{~x i. {.@>c)@> splice 1 }.&.>c
)

NB.! (the following should really use more abstract elements)
NB. Standard formatting:    _ normal    ]
NB.                         * bold      b
NB.                         % italic    i
NB.                         ~ code      code
NB.                         @ link      link

ftext=: verb def '''_*%~@'' (]`B`I`CODE`link) decorate y'
fdecor=: adverb def (':';'(''_*%~@'',x) (]`B`I`CODE`LINE`U) decorate y')

NB.!why does the following fail?
NB. '$!' B@jsite`(I@FONT color 'Blue') fdecor '`_the `*site`_ `!is`_ `$here\this`_ and running.'
NB. >>bug in rep of explicit adv/conj
NB. workaround is to replace I@FONT color 'Blue' with a named verb.

NB. secondary verbs:
link=: verb define
i=. y i. PATHSEP_j_
A href (i{.y) (}.i}.y)
)

image=: verb def ('IMG src y 0';':';'x IMG src y 0')
jsite=: link@('http://www.jsoftware.com/'&,)
NB.  splice - cut; assemble along items
NB.  spread - return cut mask for sets of columns

spread=: ;@({.&.>&1)   NB.  (spread 2 1 1) u;._1 y

NB.  composition:   f@g for monad,   (f g) for dyad
NB.  allows  (FONT upon I) color Blue
NB.  (root verb in composition is the one applied dyadically)
NB. upon=: @: : (`(`:6))
upon=: 2 : '(u@:v) : (u v)'

NB. table verb.  Convert matrix of boxed elements into
NB. an HTML representation.
by=: ,&LF : (, LF&,)
onbox=: ;@:(by&.>) :.<

table=: TABLE upon (onbox@:(TR&.onbox"1)@:(TD@by&.>))

NB. Apply formatting verbs to all boxes, words, lines,
NB. or paragraphs of the right argument.
NB.   f all [boxes|lines|paras|words]
NB.  eg  P@ftext all paras noun define
NB.     ...

all=: 2 : '; @ (((by@x)&.>) @ y)'

lines=: <;._2
paras=: (_1&|.&((2#LF)&E.) <;._2 ])@by
words=: (#~ *@#@>) @ (<;._1) @ (' '&,)

NB. entities - converts from &entities to plain text
NB.            inverse converts back.

'ents plain'=: <"0 |: (({. ; }.@}.)~ i.&' ');._2 noun define
lt <
gt >
amp &
quot "
)

pfe=. ;@(((entcvt@{. , }.@}.)~ i.&';')&.>@(<;._1)) &. ('&amp;'&, :. }.)
entcvt=. (ents"_ i. <) >@{ plain"_ , <
entcvt=. (entcvt f.) :. ((plain"_ i. <@,) >@{ (('&'&,@(,&';')&.>ents)"_ , <))
