Copying text from MS Word and wrapping in HTML - help please

From: Adam Holloway <lists@...>
Date: 2012-06-27 10:12:25 UTC
List: ruby-talk #396896
Hi,

I'm new to Ruby and was wondering if someone can help me out with this.
I build websites on a daily basis and use HTML all the time, but seem to
receive content people want publishing in Word documents all the time
and have to simply wrap text in paragraph tags, put ul tags around
unordered lists and various other simple and repetitive tasks.

Therefore I gather I could use Ruby to do some of these tedious tasks
for
me, but not sure how to do this. I've made a start, but doesn't seem to
work. The one thing I'm really unsure of how to do is to recognise where
paragraphs and lists start and end in order to wrap the HTML around it.
Any help would be appreciated.


require 'rubygems'
require 'win32/clipboard'
include Win32

# get the text from the clipboard
text =3D Clipboard.data

# clean up and wrap in HTML
text =3D text.gsub(/(=E2=80=9C|=E2=80=9D|=C2=A3|sometext|=E2=80=A2 List i=
tem 1)/) do |match|
  case match
    when '=E2=80=9C': '&quote'
    when '=E2=80=9D': '&quote'
  when '=C2=A3': '&pound;'
  when 'sometext': '<p>sometext</p>'
  when '=E2=80=A2  List item 1
      =E2=80=A2  List item 2': '<ul><li>List item 1</li><li>List item
2</li></ul>'
end

# send it back to the clipboard
Clipboard.set_data(text)

# displays message
print "Cleaning up clipboard..."


Thanks in advance.
