Subject [greenstone-devel] plugin perl problems

Hi,

thinking about this last night I have decided my problem is I don't understand how
the multi-part/page documents get generated, the same difficulty goes for multidocument plugins like MARCPlug  or OAIPlug.

Any help understanding what is going on with these sort of plugins is appreciated.

Thanks

s.

Have a look at the following snippet:
(starts somewhere near line 100 of PDFPlug.pm)
####
    # following title_sub removes "Page 1" added by pdftohtml, and a leading
    # "1", which is often the page number at the top of the page. Bad Luck
    # if your document title actually starts with "1 " - is there a better way?

    #my $self = new ConvertToPlug ($class, @args, "-title_sub", '^(Pages+d+)?(s*1s+)?');
    my $self = new ConvertToPlug ($class, @args);
    $self->{'plugin_type'} = "PDFPlug";
    if ($use_sections) {
            $self = new ConvertToPlug ($class, @args, "-title_sub", '^(Pages+d+)?(s*1s+)?');
        $self->{'use_sections'}=1;
    }
####

It is part of 'sub new' in PDFPlug.pm, and is my attempt to fix PDFPlug so it doesn't overide a
title_sub specified in the arguments of PDFPlug.pm with the '^(Pages+d+)?(s*1s+)?' arguments
required to remove the "Page 1" added by pdftohtml (as noted in the comments)

I thought I got it right - but attempts to rebuild with a small collection seem to have killed my ability to generate sections at all (my test document included the greenstone developers guide).

Any help/suggestions appreciated

regards,

s.
