Daxe Application

This Linux/UNIX application serves to provide file access to the Daxe XML editor running in a web browser, to edit local files. It turns the Daxe web application into a desktop application.

Installation

• install the Dart SDK
• use the pub get command in the daxapp directory
• get the Daxe web application on github
• build it with build.sh
• set the path to the Daxe web application directory, for instance: export DAXE_HOME=/.../daxe/build/web (alternatively, move the Daxe web application so that daxe/daxe.html is in the same directory as the command-line application)
• optionally, create a desktop icon to launch the application, using the included daxe_icon image and the daxe.sh script
  • on Linux
  • on MacOS (the application has not been tested on MacOS, but it might work)

Usage

• command-line: daxe.sh -config config_name or daxe.sh -config config_name file.xml or daxe.sh file.xml. Example: daxe.sh -config XHTML5 test.xhtml. If the configuration is not specified, Daxe will look for the right one based on the name of the root element.
• desktop application: a file can be opened with a drag-and-drop on the application icon.
