Offline GitHub MS Documents

[TimoVJL]

Thanks Timo,  it's working for me now.  The pages render sufficiently quick.

I'm still confused over what the main difference is between

WHViewMD_WS_a1

and

WHViewMD_WS_a2

WHViewMD_WS_a2 don't need MiniUnZ as unpacking code is include project.

Thanks for putting up with my questions :-)

I understand now ... I successfully rebuilt WHViewMD_WS_a2

If you're planning on embellishing the UI, I would start by adding a Search to
the Listbox, followed by changing to a larger font in the Listbox.  Those 2 things
would make this a useful offline tool.

This very slow example make filename list from win32-docs zip
....

In WHViewMD_WS_a2.zip MiniUnZ code is included to project.
In WHViewMD_c_a3.zip RichEdit control is cleared before inserting new rtf page.

Very nice Timo!  BTW slow is the reason I created a db for my version getting API functions.
It is not unbearable though.

I'll also mention that wordpad still works in Windows 25H2 for those interested.

It seems the .md to .rtf converter is incomplete.
Checking the web/AI this .md snippet is convertible to .rtf syntax -

Code Select Expand

<dl> <dt>
<span id="CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES"></span><span id="cfstr_dsobjectnames"></span>CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES </dt> <dd> <dl> <dt>
"DsObjectNames" </dt> <dt>
The CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES clipboard format is supported by the IDataObject provided by the ICommonQuery::OpenQueryWindow method. The CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES clipboard format provides a global memory handle (HGLOBAL) that contains DSOBJECTNAMES structure.
</dt> </dl> </dd> </dl>
is converted to this .rtf snippet

Code Select Expand

{\rtf1\ansi\deff0
{\bkmkstart CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES}{\bkmkend CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES}CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES\par
\par
\li360 "DsObjectNames"\par
The CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES clipboard format is supported by the IDataObject provided by the ICommonQuery::OpenQueryWindow method. The CFSTR_DSOBJECTNAMES clipboard format provides a global memory handle (HGLOBAL) that contains DSOBJECTNAMES structure.\par
}
is it worthwhile to convert and get rid of all the loose <dt,dd,dl> tags?  Probably more readable...

I worked a bit more with AI on the converter and mostly? got rid of those errant tags.  It also converts internally
linked *.md into *.rtf, enabling some hyperlinking, which even when it works, mostly sucks on *.rtf files.

I converted the entire win32-docs github repo to RTF and zipped it up.  I removed the *.md to cut
down on zip filesize ( even so, it is still 373MB because RTF is rather bloaty )
