We use our own XML template for wv for conversion, works great. I just
had a look and can't find any interfaces out there for word view. It
might be nice to write one up, can start fairly simple:
my $wv = Convert::WordView->new(); # Create instance
$wv->config($filehandle # Which config xml file
or $filename or $scalarref);
$wv->charset('UTF-8'); # Character set ?
$wv->input($filehandle or $filename or $scalarref [,$password])
# What to convert
$wv->execute; # Cause it to happen
$wv->output(undef or $filehandle or $filename);
# Return text or out to file
foreach my $img ($wv->images()) { # Handle the images
# Save, rename, whatever
}
Is this useful ?
