#12 "import profile" fails on ubuntu 7:04, python 2.5

Matej Cepl — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 18:04:54 -0000

This is weird, looking like an invalid bug … according to https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/profile.html profile module should be part of the standard library since Python 2.4.

#13 Bold/Italic not reset on \plain

Bold/Italic not reset on \plain

vertagano — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:50:02 -0000

I'm running into the same problem.

I have an application that produced RTF, and I want to convert those files to XML.

The problem is that rtf2xml doesn't seem to reset the Bold or Italic attributes when encounters \plain. Unfortunately, the RTFs that my target app produces only uses \plain to turn these off, so once they're on, they stay on.

I've been looking through the source, but I'm not a Python user, so I'm having trouble finding where to implement this.

"import profile" fails on ubuntu 7:04, python 2.5

Anonymous — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 12:55:18 -0000

Seemed to install fine on Feisty Ubuntu 7:04, on python 2.5.

Running rtf2xml at the command line produced this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rtf2xml", line 68, in <module>
import rtf2xml.ParseRtf
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rtf2xml/ParseRtf.py", line 96, in <module>
import rtf2xml.process_tokens,rtf2xml.delete_info
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rtf2xml/process_tokens.py", line 20, in <module>
import profile
ImportError: No module named profile

I commented out the imports in both process_tokens.py and correct_unicode.py (the only places this occurs), reinstalled, and it runs from the command line again.

It's probably because I don't have profile installed or something like that. I'm not a python expert, so I'm afraid I can't comment any further on what this bug is.

Incomplete inline element handling in docbook/inline.xsl

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 16:43:59 -0000

The rules matching inline elements, for example the one matching "rtf:inline[@italics][@bold]" put the element's content into an emphasis element if it's in italics.

However, they are matched for each element that has these attributes set, even if the attributes' values are "false", in which case the rule produces nothing, introducing empty paragraphs in some of my documents (the xml source of which _was_ created by rtf2xml 1.32).

These rules should get rewritten to either not get chosen or to continue default processing if the conditions for <emphasis> are not met, e.g. my fix is:

<xsl:template match = "rtf:inline[@italics][@bold]" priority="6">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test = "@italics = 'true'">
<emphasis role = "italics-bold">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</emphasis>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test = "../../@italics='true'">
<emphasis role = "paragraph-emphasis-off">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</emphasis>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Error with styles

tyfeur — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:12:31 -0000

Hello !

It's me again ! :)
I've got a problem with the styles : the parser skip
some styles in some cases. In fact only the "heading"
styles.

I've joined a small document with 3 titles (heading 1,2
and 3) but the "heading 2" is skipped ! In fact there
is no "paragraph-definition" as it should be :

paragraph-definition name="heading 2"

However if i remove the title and retype it, the bug
disappears ! It must be a case the parser missed i
think ... :(

It would really helped me if you find some answer ! :)

Thank you very much for your great work ! ;)

Empty rtf caused bad xml format

tyfeur — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:51:21 -0000

Me again ! :)

I have reinstalled the libraries after having
completely removed the old version and the bug remains ! :(

It is not really urgent :)

Thx !
