I felt too lazy last night to blog…<\/p>\n
Yesterday through the day I had a funny task – a script to convert html to tiff, which was needed by a friend. It turned out to be really interesting, especially because it needed to have working cyrillic :) Because someone else might need it, here it is:<\/p>\n
\r\n#!\/bin\/sh\r\n\r\n# by\r\n\r\n#requirements in debian packages:\r\n# apt-get install htmldoc xpdf-reader imagemagick gs-common libtiff-tools\r\n\r\nif [ -z \"$2\" ]; then\r\n echo Usage: $0 input-file output-file-prefix\r\n exit 2\r\nfi\r\n\r\nk=`tempfile`\r\nrm -f $k && mkdir $k || exit 8\r\nhtmldoc --webpage --continuous $1 -t ps --charset cp-1251 -f $k\/OUTPUT.ps\r\ncdr=`pwd`\r\ncd $k || exit 4\r\nps2pdf OUTPUT.ps\r\npdftoppm OUTPUT.pdf output\r\nconvert output*ppm $cdr\/$2.tiff\r\ncd $cdr || exit 5\r\nrm -rf -- $k\r\n<\/vasil><\/pre>\n It could probably be written better, especially the thing with that temporary directory, but it’s just a proof-of-concept. The conversion fom postscript to PDF is needed, because htmldoc has a bug in the pdf files generation, and convert doesn’t handle pdf well, and I have to go through ppm. It was a lot of tweaking, until it worked.<\/p>\n
Nothing else interesting, except going again at the square to listen to the concerts, and reading Quicksilver. This time they played concert for piano and orchestra number I-can’t-remember-which by Tchaykovski, it was great (on the piano there was Evgeny Kissin, who then has been 15 years old …:) )<\/p>\n
I’m having weird dreams, with some known female friends, really weird, second night in a row… Looks like Velin has such too, and I think that probably the apartment is cursed…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
