Re: Reformatting PerlMonk pages for Palm organisers

perlcgi posted his method here

Just returned home from a few days of caravan camping with my family. My only connection to PM was through my Palm V->GSM phone (9800 bps :(.

I've have some thougths about Palm issues, but no code yet :). I will try to do a PM "proxy" that get pages from PM and reformats them to fit Palmscape or WAP...

Palmscape (at least my version) doesn't support cookies, so if I want to post as me, I will have to emulate these some how.
Pages are far to large, they will have to be broken down into smaller pieces.
It will print just the links to answers on the questions pages.
Cut down the size on large posts to X bytes, and add a "Everything" link.

Just some thoughts, I want it on-line, not off-line as you do :)

The problems with on and off line are the same. It's just whether the entire (formatted) site can be hotsync'd to the Palm before a journey begins... I'd love to have the whole Q&A section nicely formatted and always in my Palm. Where are there docs on WAP? TTFN. -PipTigger p.s. Initiate Nail Removal Immediately!	[reply]

Well, for off-line purposes I would like doc format (which is compressed), but for on-line, html will do fine. Maybe a Palm optimized version of PM with "Download/Mail me this in doc format" links on most pages would be the thing to go for. You find lots of WAP docs on www.w3.org. /brother t0mas	[reply]
