NAME
wmlc - A basic WML compiler
DESCRIPTION
This is a basic WML compiler. It takes the WML source and compiles into
WML bytecode ready for transmission to a WAP device.
It is quite basic and has a lot of limitations, but things it can
compile can be decompiled by wmld and vice versa.
So long as scripts and variables aren’t involved, the pages compiled
seem to work reasonably well in Nokia’s WAP Toolkit and Ericsson’s WAP
SDK. It isn’t most efficient, however, and the bytecode will be larger
than other compilers. Optimisation is Coming Soon(tm).
In order to compile bytecode in which simple scripts can work there
needs to be a mechanism for building up the string table and also
finding out what tag is appropriate (other compilers use WMLG_STR_T,
WMLG_EXT_T_2 or WMLG_EXT_I_2 to specify that a variable is coming and I
don’t know which one to use - or even if it makes a difference)
Usage: ./wmlc file.wml [output.wmlc]
