I know a little C and I have started coding a text viewer that supports basic formatting (bold, underline, horrisontal rules, possibly more) through a very basic file format that I've thown together. I will also put together a program to convert wiki (or maybe html) into this format.

The code is very messy so far but should work OK at the end of the day.

Just found this....Not a programmer, but it sounds like this could help the cause.

Text_Wiki, a powerful and elegant wiki parsing engine

Can´t wait to see this on the H3X0!!!

Text Viewer
Connel
Have a look here
http://plugbox.tripod.com/rockword.htm
The source is availabe to download. Rockword is pretty but as you can see from the code does bugger all. You could do something to convert the interface

Yea, so far my reader is ASCII only (and 1 byte/character). I'm using single byte formatting tags outwith visible ASCII such that the file is moderately small in side and the parsing code is simple. It may be possible in the future to use the Text_Wiki to create the outputted files (I'll maybe make my converter change html into my format and use Text_Wiki to create html). I will take a look at rockword in the simulator (i have a h120) and get some ui tips. Here is a list of a few features that I hope to implement (although no promises

Wiki selector screen (E.g select Wikipedia, Rockbox Documentation, Other Example)
Inline links (between topics and (hopefully) locations within the current document)
Back and Forward functions (but not at the top of the todo list).

There are a couple of things that would be difficult to implement, namely tables, although that may be able to be solved with a fixed width font if/when mutliple font support is possible.

Any suggestions of names? Wikibox? anything witty?

Also, is there any way to get a dump of the rockbox wiki without having to crawl the site?

Thanks,
Connell

As in the image I submitted earlier in this thread, I think Rokipedia is a good name.

The thing about Rockipedia is that the plugin it is a wiki viewer, not just a wikipedia viewer (and I believe the pedia part comes from encyclopedia).

and potentially a generic ebook viewer right? or have you already decided not to pursue that path.

Wow. Didn't know this would get as far as it has. Honestly, I have better things to do now, so I'm probably going to have nothing to do with this. I was a terrible project organizer anyways. Have fun, guys, and I'd love to see what you come up with.

Download don't Crawl
wikipedia have suggested that your IP will be banned if retrieving more than "certain number of paged' pe second. So here
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki...ticles.xml.bz2

Problem with this file is that it appears incomplete or truncated. This is obviusly a large file (1G zip'd) 4G expanded and 5 million lines. You may need Programmers editor to view it.

wiki is defined as a source that can be freely changed by anyone. wikipedia is named becuase its an encyclopedia and dictionary that anyone in the world can change. How about jsut rockepedia?

sounds good, but change the 'e' for an 'i'. Looks better. Rockipedia

I'm really up for anything, I just can't wait for this to be finished.

Oh no, it's not that. It's just I didn't think it'd be this well thought out. There are a lot of talented people on this project, whose skills are perfect for the task at hand.

Hi,

OK, I think I'll call the plugin I'm writing Rockipedia for the moment - it can change in the future if required. The Rockipedia image in the thread is cool, although it may take up valuble space in the code of the plugin and load time.

I question about button mappings for H3xx...
The following buttons are required.
Click Link (Joystick in on H1xx)
Move up/down in links/document (Joystick up/down on H1xx)
Back to previous topic (Record on H1xx cause it is on the left side of player)
Forward if previously gone back (AB on H1xx cause it is on the right side of the player)
Back to list of wikis (Stop on h1xx)
Menu (Play on h1xx)

Could someone suggest mapping for the h3xx (or changes to the mappings for h1xx)?

Update so far:
In-line links work (although only to other topics and not inpage jumps yet).
I'm writing a converter that will turn any simple html file into a format that can be viewed by the plugin. This way any file format that can be turned into simple html (ie all wikis, possibly ebooks or pdfs) can be converted and viewed.

Restrictions:
So far the plugin simply acts as a viewer. I have yet to implement a proper front-end to the plugin.
Not all of the possible formatting tags have been created.
No word wrapping so far.
Current limit of 8k for file being viewed. (This will be increased. It may not seem a lot but remember that it is text only (with 1 byte formatting tags) so it is actually not as small as it appears).
No tables. Proper tables may be very difficult to implement - at least in the way that my plugin is coded - but I'll have a think about it. A quick fix I think will be to use the fixed width font and have the table pre-rendered in ascii.

Cya,
Connell

Just a quick note tho that Wikipedia on it still quite far away. I'm concentrating on the rockbox wiki documentation right now.

h3xx button suggestions:

Follow link: navi
move up/down: volume up/down
Back to previous topic: rewind/previous (|<<)
Forward if previously gone back : ffwd/next (>>|)
Back to list of wikis: stop (or record, since stop is used to quit in most other plugins)
Menu: A/B
