Adobe Illustrator CS6

About these pagesThe ExtendScript ToolkitEditor comes with a builtin Help function, whichdisplays all objectsaccessible in JavaScriptfor InDesign, Bridge,Illustrator, and Photoshop.It does so by sending arequest to the targetprogram to output anXML data file, containingthe prototypes anddefinitions for all of itsscriptable components.This XML file is saved ina cache (presumablybecause it's a lengthyoperation) andsubsequentially displayedwhen requested. If itdetects a new plugin, therequest is sent again andthe XML file is rebuiltfrom scratch. That meansthat online help for anynew scriptable plugincommands are availableimmediately for your newscripts. Amazing!XML is a very readabledata format . if you're abithead like me! Butwouldn't it be nice to beable to format this helptext just as you like, andbe readable (and

searchable!) in yourfavourite program, such asyour web browser? Well,the XML format has aunique advantage over justabout any other data file.It's highly structured, andthis content can bemanipulated using XSLT— the ExtensibleStylesheet LanguageTransformations language,as defined by the WorldWide Web Consortium(W3C). An XSLTstylesheet can sort andmanipulate XML input,insert all kinds of extradata (such as, oh, acopyright manifest at thetop of every output), andwrite the result to one ormore output files. Whathas that to do with these750 pages of HTML? Ididn't create a single oneof them. (This page iscreated 'All By Hand'TM— but it's not part ofAdobe's XML files.)So I wrote an XSLTstylesheet to read, parse,split, and sort the hugeinput file, and to output itas formatted andhyperlinked HTML pages.This was no mean task atall — the input file is over

113,000 lines long, and thelatest version of the stylesheet contains just under athousand lines. All in all,it took me more than 50hours of hard work tocreate the output you seebefore you. But wait!couldn't I just have searchand-replaced the XMLcommands into HTML?Sure — manually sortingand such, but still doable.But if I ever want tochange something — say,I want 4 columns of indexinstead of 3, or I don'twant to use tablesanymore, but real CSS3columns — all I have todo is re-write a (small)part of the XSLT stylesheet and let the SaxonXSLT interpreter go overthe XML again. If myinstallation of InDesign isupgraded with somescriptable plugin, all Ihave to do is run Saxonagain. Since the XML helpfor CS4 has the sameformatting, I can runSaxon again on its helpfile. And there you haveit! Another entirely newset of more than 750 files,all properly indexed andhyperlinked, without medoing any more than

changing how it shouldlook!aUnderstanding XML iseasy, especially if you arewell-versed in HTML. Ifthe latter, you shouldreally know aboutXHTML — the wellformatted younger brotherof that plain old tacktogether-with-sticky-tapethat grew so bloated overthe years. XML is evenmore so structured, andthe step over shouldn't bedifficult. XSLT issomething quite else. Firstoff, it's defined in terms ofXML (meaning: you canrun an XSLT style sheetover an XSLT style sheet,for example to format itfor printing or viewing).It's a programminglanguage, but it doesn'twork in the do-this-thenthat sequential steps;instead, it's a procedurallanguage, and it describeswhat to do on each andevery XML element itencounters in the inputXML document. Writingyour first XSLT style sheetcan be frustrating (usually,because your first attemptsdon't appear to doanything at all) until you

get into the proper mindset. Soon you will bescanning every folder onyour computer for XMLfiles to examine! (Mac OSX users: a .plistconfiguration file is alsoXML; lots of other files inthat system are as well.)So, why did I work sohard on writing the sheetfor this? Well, it was funto create something new— a good reason in itself.Besides, I needed thetraining. As a typesetter,one of my upcoming jobsincludes a dictionary thatis being assembled asExcel data. I experimentedwith a small data set,exporting it from Excel asXML, and then convertingit to plain text, sortingentries and concatenatingduplicates all in one go.After that I reckoned,"INX" — InDesign'scompatibility file format— "is also an XML file",and went on to include allnecessary formatting, frompages and paragraphs,right up to the style andformatting of individualwords. Saxon still didn'tbreak into a sweat — andnow all I have to do if the

complete data comes in, isexport it to XML, run mysheet over it to create anINX output file, and openthat one with InDesign.The publisher will beamazed if he receives acomplete set of proofswithin a couple of hours(let's be generous), nomatter if it's a hundredpages of output or athousand. How does thatsound for pagethroughput!?AcknowledgementsThe first CHM conversionof the files for CS3 wasdone by fellow scriptingenthousiast ABC GREEN.Additionally, he helpedme set up my system tocompile other versions aswell. Thanks, mate!NoteaDue to a hard disk crash of myWindows machine I lost all of myinstalled programs. Fortunately, mygood friend René Kramer (19672010) was able to rescue most (ifnot all) of my data. Thanks, René that bottle of whiskey was wellearned. Enjoy it, whereever youare.So this version is not created withSaxon on a Windows computer.Working on my Mac, I downloadedKernow for Saxon. The olderversion 1.4 comes complete with aJava interface and Saxon 8B, and tomy surprise (and relief) it took just

a few clicks to re-generate theentire Help set anew. I said itbefore and I'll say it again: SupportOpen Source Software!Jongware, 25Nov-2012v3.0.3iContents :: Index
