Hi TCL,

I have a requirement to read a xml in TCL.

I do not how to proceed with and which package to use.

Please help !


Thanks in Advance,

N.Kannan

Has the planned tutorial ever materialized:
how to use tDOM's XSLT engine (http://wiki.tcl.tk/1948)
Can someone outline their experience with tDOM as an XSLT-processor?
How would it work?

Thanks.

Well, yes, autoclosing is a weak point of the html parser. Thanks for
your patch.

Hi,

Is this the right place to send small patches?

I found out that autoclosing of HTML <li> tags doesn't yet fully
work in the current CVS head. I figured out that the problem is
that a new <li> tag doesn't close the previous one. Only </ol>
and similar tags do. So if there was more than one <li> in the
list, those earlier ones are not closed and parsing may fail.

The solution seems simple:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=344122 is the report I saw
today that brought it to mind. However, I've not taken a look through their
database to see if other issues have arisen.

No, I didn't know about that things. Is that discussion archived

Are the maintainers of tdom notified when changes occur in the tdom package for
specific distributions? I noticed recently a series of emails, and finally a
patch, discussed in the Debian Tcl mailing list. There were some changes made so
that installation included tdomhtml and tnc, an example directory created, etc.

I didn't know if they bothered to submit bug reports and the patches to you or
not.

Thanks for the heads up.  This did in fact allow me to successfully install
tDOM, which in turn allowed a successful install of my target app.

My thanks to all!!!!!!!!

tdom has already been reintroduced successfully, and comes with debian
{stable|unstable|testing}:

see http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tdom.html

as ubuntu retrieves package drops from debian unstable at regular intervals,
tdom is featured in ubuntu starting with jaunty:

see http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/tdom

(btw. a hint for custom builts: the debian package manifestos, especially the

Larry, I thank you for the continuing dialog.  My error in not describing myself
as a newbie to Linux.  I must proceed with my assembly code project, but if you
would follow through with me on the environment variables that would be great. 
As Mathias stated in a separate post, I really should improve my understanding
of Linux.

I apologize - I made the assumption that you were familar with Linux
or Unix and should not have made that assumption.

To make a change to PATH that you want to keep, you must edit the
personal config file that your login shell supports. Some shells
support $HOME/.profile , some support a file set in $ENV, some a
$HOME/.bashrc , etc.

In that file you would either edit the existing PATH and MANPATH
setting statements or you would add statements that would do something
like

export PATH=/path/to/ActiveTcl/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=/path/to/ActiveTcl/man:$MANPATH

The default install location is truly up to the user - there isn't any
real difference between installing in /opt or /home, as far as I am
aware.

As for running the ActiveTcl installer under sudo, I would suggest
dropping a message to ActiveState's tcl support team and ask if they
have any recommendations.

Finally, as for the dropping of tdom from Ubuntu, perhaps someone on
this mailing list can bring that issue up with the appropriate team.

I am so sorry you had a tough time getting things to work.

You've spent a great deal of time and effort with me here and I really
appreciate it.  At this point I am pulling the plug, and live without installing
this program.  May not like it anyway.

What put me over the edge is the fact that the $PATH variable will not remain
updated with the additional info.  I can put it in, then do an echo, see its
there, do a which, close terminal, reopen do a where, get a "not recognized
command", do an echo $PATH and have the variable in its original state.
Egads!!!!!!!!!!!  Tried export using sudo (sudo export ....) and that also fails
with "not recognized sudo export".

Little frustrated with Ubuntu as well since I was never allowed to install
ActiveTcl in /opt, which appears to be the desired default for ActiveTcl. 
Ubuntu doesn't allow a root logon, and the graphical installer for ActiveTcl
doesn't appear to do sudo, so.../home it is

Ubuntu appears to have removed tDOM from their repository, so all around I'm
having road bumps.

Venting complete

Thanks again, you're a good man!

Here's how _I_ found my tdom.

$ where teacup
/var/tmp/ActiveTcl/bin/teacup
$ /var/tmp/ActivetTcl/bin/tclsh8.5
% package require tdom
0.8.3
% exit
$ find /var/tmp/ActiveTcl/lib/. -type f -print | grep -i tdom
/var/tmp/ActiveTcl/lib/./teapot/package/solaris2.8-sparc/lib/tdom0.8.3/tdom.tcl
/var/tmp/ActiveTcl/lib/./teapot/package/solaris2.8-sparc/lib/tdom0.8.3/libtdom0.\
8.3.so
/var/tmp/ActiveTcl/lib/./teapot/package/solaris2.8-sparc/lib/tdom0.8.3/pkgIndex.\
tcl
/var/tmp/ActiveTcl/lib/./teapot/package/tcl/teapot/tcl8/8.4/tdomhtml-0.1.0.tm

Followed instructions regarding teacup.  It is certainly in.  Feel a bit
sheepish on path issue.  I think that my ignorance extends beyond that, though. 
When trying to install the app that I really want to use I get a message back
saying that tdom isn't installed.  In following your instructions I get this
returned:

barry@polly-control:~$ teacup install tdom
Resolving tdom ... [package tdom 0.8.3 linux-glibc2.3-ix86 ... Already installed
in repository, probing dependencies]
Resolving Tcl 8.4 -is package ... [package Tcl 8.5.6 _ ... Installed outside
repository, probing dependencies]

So, above means that tdom isn't in or I once again have a path issue.  I am
using Gnome, and a search for tdom returns nothing to do with tdom, though it
did find 3 unrelated strings.  Where would tdom go so I can tell the installer
for mcu8051ide(the app I want) where tdom is?  ----From the name of my target

The configure file looks for the information about the installed tcl
in 'usual' places (like /usr/local/lib). If Ubuntu puts that into an
'unusual' place, it may not find it by itself.

Search for where the file tclConfig.sh is on your system. Then call
the tDOM configure from the unix directory with

../configure --with-tcl=/path/to/your/tclConfig.sh

rolf

I just installed activetcl 8.5.6, into /home/user/activetcl 8.5.6/
and got same results when trying to install the tdom 0.8.2 located from the
/home/user/tdom-0.8.2/unix/ dir.  A suggestion has been made to install tdom
using teacup, but with that I am totally clueless.

I removed 8.5 and ran: sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tcl8.4-dev tk8.4 tk8.4-dev.

  When doing ../configure on tdom-0.8.2 I got:

Same issue as earlier attempts.  Is Ubuntu putting tcl in a dir that  tdom is

apt-get install the tcl8.5-dev and tk8.5-dev packages (so you have the
necessary Tcl header files, etc.) and then re-run tdom's ../configure.

Michael

Tried again got this message:
checking for correct TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.6)
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: WARNING: Can't find Tcl
configuration definitions

I had installed Tcl/Tk by doing sudo apt-get install tcl8.5 tk8.5
I have an app written using Tcl/Tk which does work.  Where to from here?

My personal recommendation would be to install ActiveState's ActiveTcl (pick the
version that you need), and then use their "teacup install tdom" to install the
extension simply.

Or, if you are going to be doing a lot of tcl development, take a few minutes
and run "teacup update" which will install a large suite of tcl add-ons for you
to use.

The README say, go to the unix directory and do ../configure
(Note the ../ !)

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and am trying to install an application that requires
tdom.  I went to tdom page an downloaded tdom 0.8.2.  Readme file says to goto
unix directory and do ./configure........My download has CONFIG, not configure,
but tried CONFIG anyway.  NO go.  How do I get around this issue?  I see install
scripts all over the place, but uncertain about those, so I though I would admit
to my stupidity so that I can get on with what I really need to be doing.

Any help you can provide would be hugely appreciated!

I'm not sure, I understand the question. Do you ask for DTD
validation? If yes, look at the tnc extension (which is bundled with
the distribution).

I did only some improvements to the stardom viewer, that Richard
Suchenwirth started. IIRC, Arjen Markus, published a version, which
allowed actually pcdata editing.

If we talk about the same thing, then this is just a small tcl
script. Adjusting that to your needs should be easy, even for Joe Tcl
Programmer.

Well, it also works with an external DTD, if you prefer that. In that
case, you've to provide an -externalentitycommand as URI resolver. In
other words, the usual limbo dance, which at least provides the
maximal freedom to the script author, after you've got to it.

What would be nice to have?
