Title: CanDo export
Post by: misp on June 04, 2024, 10:44:02 PM

  Hello

Does anyone know a way to export CanDo project to HTML5?

BTW CanDo was a great authoring tool released back in the 90s

thanks

I don’t think this is possible. I’m not aware of any CanDo export tools, let alone one for HTML. *Maybe* there’s a way to convert it to Scala, which could then be imported into Hollywood…

As far as I am aware, the file format (IFF DECK) is (still) undocumented. If you are able to get some technical details on this format I'm happy to see what I can do, perhaps a conversion module could be written for Report+.

You could probably reverse-engineer the format with some example projects made step by step. if it is IFF throughout then a normal iff parser could be used.

Extracting the chunks is easy enough, it is interpreting their contents that is the difficulty.

Reverse-engineering the format is possible of course if I was motivated enough for that, I've done that for various other file formats.
