ProcessHTML.py creates the PDF handbooks for MuseScore. 

ProcessHTML is written and maintained by David Bolton.

**********************************

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS

Code is written for Python 2.6. The actual PDF creation 
has several dependencies that must be installed first. 
See http://www.htmltopdf.org/ for details.

A connection to the Internet is required since 
ProcessHTML.py fetches HTML and images files from the 
MuseScore website.


FURTHER SETUP AND PATCHES

If you get "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no 
attribute 'bands'" then see 
http://code.google.com/p/xhtml2pdf/issues/detail?id=65

To create the Japanese and Chinese handbooks see
http://code.google.com/p/xhtml2pdf/issues/detail?id=63

If you encounter
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\doctemplate.py", line 783, in handle_flowable
    raise LayoutError(ident)
reportlab.platypus.doctemplate.LayoutError
Comment line 783 in "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\doctemplate.py"


USE INSTRUCTIONS

To create PDF handbooks run ProcessHTML.py from the 
command line.

By default the script will create the English handbook. 
To create other language handbooks use the standard 
two-letter language code as follows:

> Python ProcessHTML.py -l fr

To create all the language handbooks at once use "all" 
as the command line argument.

> Python ProcessHTML.py all


*********************************

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADDING NEW LANGUAGE

1. In chapterHeading() add the translation for 
   "Chapter". For example:

    elif language_code == 'nb':
        chapter = 'Kapittel'

2. In createHandbook() add the URL for the print 
   version of the handbook and the top-level URL for 
   the handbook on the website. Make sure the internal 
   URL using Unicode characters rather than escaped 
   charaters ('http://musescore.org/nb/håndbok' instead 
   of 'http://musescore.org/nb/h%C3%A5ndbok'). For 
   example

    elif language_code == 'nb':
        url = 'http://musescore.org/nb/print/book/export/html/2122'
        internal = 'http://musescore.org/nb/håndbok'

3. In main() the two-letter code the language_choices
   list. For example

    language_choices = ['all','en','nl','de','es','fi','fr','gl','it','ja','nb','ru','pl','pt-BR']
