Help Custom conversion

This is useful only if you want to convert the html source in a way not covered by the other converters.

When you want to use custom conversion, you must define the conversion scheme first. To do that - click on the "Settings" button.

In the settings screen you can adjust what to be added to the beginning and to the end of converted code, to beginning or end of each line and to specify what should be replaced. In the following example we will create HTML to PHP converter - this is quite useless, because we have default PHP converter in the program, but the example will show you how the custom conversion works.

On the first line ("Add to the beginning of code") we tell the converter to add <?php at the very top of the converted (output) code

In the same way, on the next line, we tell the converter to add the closing PHP tag after the end of the converted code (?>)

On the line called "Add to the beginning of the line" we tell the converter that we want the echo " command to be added before every line converted

In the same way the ending part of each echo function is defined (\n"; )

Then we must set the replacement rules. In our case (PHP output) we must replace all backslashes and quotes with their PHP equivalents.

NOTE that the batch search and replace is performed exactly in the order they are defined - in our case the converter will replace all backslashes first and then - all quote marks. Be careful with this, because it can lead to strange errors -- in our case, if we switch the search and replace order, we will produce broken php code.
