Re: Adding Line Numbers to the MIT Shakespeare

[tobyink]

The id attribute is supposed to be unique per-document. That is, you must not have two elements in the same document with the same value for id.

Try replacing id="lineNum" with class="lineNum" in your HTML, and replacing #lineNum with .lineNum in your stylesheet.

Hi,

Sorry for asking maybe a very simple question, but where should I enter the file (or the name of the file) for parsing?

Thanks in advance,

Input: an HTML file using the MIT Shakespeare Format
...
die "File must be given as first arg\n";

Provide the input file when running the script, like this:

perl scriptname.pl inputfile.html

Thanks for your answer, marto.

The parsing worked.

But how to "capture the output into a new html file"?

I used the following command:

"perl scriptname.pl inputfile.html > result.html".

In the result.html file that was generated, I added the stylesheet indicated:

<style type="text/css">
.lineNum {
position: absolute;
left: 550px;
}
</style>

But the result.html file didn't show any line numbers.

What may I have done wrong?

P.S. - I've compared the original and the result file, before adding the stylesheet, and they are exactly the same. So the parsing didn't work as it should.
