Code2HTML Widget

Code2HTML Widget is a Mac OS X Tiger Dashboard widget that allows source code to be converted to displayable HTML. For example, suppose that you wanted to display the following HTML in an HTML page:

<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Welcome to my webpage</h1>
    </body>
</html>

Using the Code2HTML widget, you simply copy this source into the widget, and click the convert button. By doing so, you get:

&lt;html&gt;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;body&gt;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;h1&gt;Welcome to my webpage&lt;/h1&gt;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

Here's a couple screenshots of the widget in action.

Download the Code2HTML Widget.

To install, simply unzip the package and drag the Code2HTML widget to your /Library/Widgets folder.

07-18-2005 Version 1.2b Released (bug fix)

Escaped escape character in copied code so that escape sequences work correctly in code samples

07-03-2005 Version 1.2 Released (bug fix)

Found a bug that would cause problems with converted code copied to the clipboard. Here's an example:
function $() {
    //do something
}

When this code is converted the $() symbols are removed, in the instance when no spaces are inserted around the ( ) symbols. The reason, I discovered, is that the command line is interpreting the $() as an expression, evaluating it, and returning nothing. Fixed by escaping the $ symbol.
