-KPilot PalmDoc Conduit bookmark Specification
-=============================================
-
-(c) 2003 Reinhold Kainhofer, reinhold@kainhofer.com
-
-This document is licensed under the FDL (Free Documentation License)
-as published by the FSF. Any version of the FDL can be applied
-at your convenience.
-
-
-
-
-The PalmDoc conduit has three ways to indicate bookmarks for a text:
- -) Inline tags of the form <* bookmarkname *>
- -) Endtags of the form <bookmarkname> at the end of the document
- -) Regular expressions in a separate textname.bmk file
- (textname.bmk ist the filename of the text with the .txt replaced by .bmk)
-
-
-In the design of the .bmk file, I tried to stay close to the
-syntac of MakeDocJ bookmark files, but it turned out that I
-needed to extend the syntax a little. Also, MakeDocJ uses Java
-RegExps, while the PalmDoc conduit uses the QRegExp, which have
-some slight differences (especially concerning the ^ and $
-patterns as well as backreferences). So if you used MakeDocJ,
-the .bmk file syntax will be quite familiar, but you will still
-have to adapt your bookmark files for Qt regular expressions
-instead of Java regular expressions
-
-
-
-1) INLINE TAGS
-
-Whenever a tag of the form <* someText *> appears in the text,
-this sequence is removed from the text, and a bookmark is set
-there with the bookmark name "someText" (the part between the
-<* and the *>).
-
-
-2) ENDTAGS
-
-If the text ends with tags of the form <someText>, the string
-in braces is used as bookmark name, and wherever it appears in
-the text, a bookmark is set.
-After the > any number of whitespace is allowed, but no other
-characters like letters, numbers, or punctuation. Also, inside
-the braces no line break must occur. The conduit searches the
-text from the end and if it finds a line break inside a <...>
-sequence, the tag and everything before it is assumed to belong
-to the text and doesn't form a bookmark tag.
-Between endtags any number of whitespace (spaces, tabs, line
-feeds etc.) is allowed.
-
-As an example, assume you have a text ending in:
-... the bad guy was punished, and they lived happily
-ever after!
-<Tag with
-line feed>
- <bad guy> <princess>
-<married>
-
-The conduit starts at the end, ignores all whitespace between
-the tags, so it finds the tags "married", "princess", and "bad guy".
-The "Tag with line feed" has a line feed, so it is assumed to belong
-to the text.
-Assume now you have a text ending in:
-... the bad guy was punished, and they lived happily
-ever after!
-<bad guy> The End <princess>
-<married>
-
-Here, only "married" and "princess" are found as bookmarks. Because
-of the letters before the "princess" tags, the search for the
-bookmarks ends at the letter "d" of "The End" (the conduit starts
-from the end and moves backward until it finds some text which
-cannot be seen as a endtag.
-
-
-
-
-3) REGULAR EXPRESSIONS IN A SEPARATE FILE
-
-This is by far the most complex way to specify bookmarks, but
-it is also the mose powerful.
-If you have a text with filename "My fairy tale.txt", the
-bookmarks will be specified in a file called "My fairy tale.bmk"
-(just the text filename with the .txt replaced by .bmk). This
-file contains the bookmark definitions, one in each line. Lines
-starting with a # are seen as comments, and empty lines are also
-ignored.
-
-
-In the .bmk file, each bookmark line has one of the following syntaces
-(I will explain all fields later on). Fields in [..] are optional:
-
-bmkName
-bmkPosition, bmkName
-+, bmkPatternRegExp[, bmkNameAsString[, firstIncludedBmk[, lastIncludedBmk]]]
-+, bmkPatternRegExp[, bmkNameIndexOfSubexpression[, firstIncludedBmk[, lastIncludedBmk]]]
--, bmkPatternRegExp[, bmkNameAsString]
--, bmkPatternRegExp[, bmkNameIndexOfSubexpression]
-
- If the first field is a string, it is used as the bookmark name
-and pattern to search for.
- If the first field is a number, it means the position of the
-bookmark, and the second field is the name of the bookmark.
- If the first field is either + or -, the second field gives
-a regular expression that is used to find the position of the
-bookmark. If the first field is a -, the search is done only
-once and only the first match will be added as bookmark. If
-the first field is a +, the search is done until the regular
-expression can no longer be found (the fourth and fifth fields
-can be used to include only a certain range of hits). If there
-is a third field, and it is a string, it gives the name of the
-bookmark as a regular expression (i.e. \1 are replaced by the
-first subexpression of the search, where subexpressions are
-specified by round brackets in the regexp of the second field).
-If there is a third field, and it is a number, it gives the index
-of the subexpression of bmkPatternRegExp that is used as the
-bookmark name.
-If there is no third field, the whole matched text will be used
-as bookmark name.
-The optional fourth and fifth fields can be used to set bookmarks
-only after the first few ocurrences of the regexp in the text, and
-to stop the search after the expression has been found a certain
-number of times.
-
-
-
-If the PDB->PC sync is set up to store the bookmarks in a bookmark file,
-it will create a file "My fairy tale.bm" (no "k") with entries of the form
-position,bmkName
-The .bmk file will be used if it exists, but if no .bmk file exists, the .bm file
-will be used. This way you can override the bookmark settings, while
-at the same time the PDB->TXT sync does not destroy your possibly
-existing .bmk file.
-
-
-
-Examples:
-
-1) Imagine you have a line like:
-frog princess
-In this case, the text is searched for "frog princess", and a
-bookmark is set whenever "frog princess" occurs in the text.
-The name of each of these bookmarks will be "frog princess".
-
-2) A bookmark line:
-55, Bookmark at offset 55
-Here, a bookmark will be set at offset 55 (55th character of
-the text), and it will have the name "Bookmark at offs" (truncated
-to 16 characters)
-
-3) A bookmark line
--,Chapter \d+
-causes a bookmark to be set at the first ocurrence of "Chapter XXX",
-where XXX denotes one or more digits. The bookmark name will be
-"Chapter XXX" (XXX replaced by the actual digits).
-
-4) A bookmark line
-+,Chapter \d+
-causes bookmarks to be set wherever "Chapter XXX" (XXX being one
-or more digits) appears in the text. The bookmark name will again
-be "Chapter XXX", but the search does not stop after the first hit.
-
-5) A bookmark line
-+,\n\s*(Chapter \d+)\D+, 1
-causes a bookmark to be set whenever a new line starts with
-"Chapter XXX" (whitespace is allowed before the "Chapter"), and
-uses the first subexpression in (..) as the bookmark name. If you
-have a passage
- Chapter 15: here it starts
-The regular expression will match, so a bookmark will be set there
-and the subexpression "Chapter 15" (which matches the (Chapter \d+) )
-will be used as bookmark text.
-
-6) A bookmark line
-+,\n\s*Part (\d+),\1\. part
-sets a bookmark whenever a line starts with "Part XXX". The XXX
-will be stored as the first matched subexpression. The third field
-"\1\. part" is the regular expression for the bookmark name, where
-\1 is replaced by the first matched subexpression of the search (XXX
-in this case). So if a line starts with " Part 17: ", the bookmark
-name will be "17. part".
-
-7) A bookmark line
-+,Table (\d+): ,\1\. Tabelle,5,25
-will match whenever "Table XXX: " appears in the text, and the bookmark
-name will be "XXX. Tabelle". However, the fourth field means that the
-first four hits are ignored (the 5th hit is the first hit to be included
-as a bookmark), and the fifth field means that all further hits after the
-25th will be ignored, too.
-
-8) In law texts, I use a regular expression
-+,\n *(§\.? *\d+[a-z]?\.?) +, 1
-to search for all paragraphs starting like "§. 15. " or " §23 ", and set
-a bookmark there using only the part from the § to the last digit or the
-full stop after the last digit (the pattern between the (), in our two
-cases the bookmark names will be "§. 15." and "§23" ).
