1 About the WBXML Token Dictionaries

     2 

     3 WBXML can use tokens to represent tag names, attribute names, attribute

     4 names combined with part or all of the attribute value, and part or all

     5 of an attribute value.

     6 

     7 The cXML code needs internal tables that map tokens to strings and strings

     8 to tokens.  To simplify the generation of these tables (dictionaries) a

     9 simple data file giving token-string pairs is processed by a dictionary

    10 creator utility program which outputs the required .h and .c files.

    11 

    12 The dictionary creator program source code is in dict_creator.c and it

    13 is a stand-alone program.  To compile it with the MS C compiler use the

    14 command: cl /Zi /W4 /WX dict_creator.c

    15 

    16 If you encounter following errors about lib.c can't be found or stdio.h is 

    17 not found in path, you need to set up system var:

    18 

    19 INCLUDE: C:\progra~1\micros~3\VC98\Include

    20 LIB: C:\progra~1\micros~3\VC98\lib

    21 

    22 To get dict_creator usage info run dict_creator with no arguments.

    23 

    24 Files with extension ".dict" are data input files.

    25 

    26 Example runs:

    27 

    28 dict_creator xhtml_1_0.dict xhtml_1_0_dict.c nw_xhtml_xhtml_1_0_tokens.h

    29 dict_creator wml_1_3.dict wml_1_3_dict.c nw_wml1x_wml_1_3_tokens.h

    30 

    31 dict_creator si.dict si_dict.c si_dict.h

    32 

    33 

    34 You have to get through dict_creator without errors and then you have to

    35 get through the C compiler on the output.  If the output doesn't compile,

    36 it may be because dict_creator did something wrong.  Dict_creator has to

    37 make a few transformations on the input to create C variable names and it

    38 is possible (though we hope never encountered in use) that this produces

    39 output that won't compile.
