Ruby/DL tutorial

Hi,

  Would there be any takers if I made a rough English translation of
the Ruby/DL tutorial at http://ttsky.net/ruby/ruby-dl.html?

Ruby/DL is a feature I plan to use often ... yes, I'd really like to see it.

Thanks! But I'm getting a 403 FORBIDDEN error when I try to look at the samples...

I have the japanese PDF, and all I can read in it is the ruby code. A
translation would definitely be welcome to provide some context :slight_smile:

Speaking of which, is there any way to handle variadic function
generically ? That is, instead of re-fetching the symbol each time with
a different signature ? I guess that this would mean that Ruby/DL would
have to guess how to translate each parameters to their C equivalent and
that there would be some cases where it wouldn't be possible to do it
automatically. Maybe by passing a signature when *calling* the symbol in
some way ? Thoughts ?

Hi,

  Well, that's a lot of takers. Trouble is, I am having difficulty in
converting the pdf to a usable form (ie HTML -- even MS Word would
do). I tried pdftohtml.exe and the adobe online pdf-to-html service,
and they both choked on it completely.

I'll second that, the more DL documentation the better :slight_smile:

takers.succ!

It looks like google does a pretty good conversion to html for that doc.
Sorry about the long link.

Me, too. I'm planning on using it soon, I think it does what I need, but
some docs would help me figure that out!

Wow, that's rather impressive... well done google. Trouble is, every
single line is in a seperate div tag with absolute positioning, which
makes it look just like the pdf, but when it gets translated every
line will have to be fixed to be the right length -- a task far bigger
than the translation. I think I'll just adopt the following
methodology:

1 -- Cut and paste into vim.
2 -- Apply basic h1 and h2 tags in about the right place.
3 -- Indent the code samples with a little sprinkle o' vim magic.
4 -- Translate it.
5 -- (optional) Go on a mystic quest to discover why anyone creates a
document and then pdf encrypts it in the first place.

So, I'll probably do that for Monday.
