[reportlab-users] pythonpoint / pgpgen bookmarking question or maybe bug?

[Karl N. Redman]

Hi,
I'm trying to add a <bookmark name="somename" outlinelevel=1 /> type tag 
at the slide level (or any level for that mater) of the XML hiararchy 
for pythonpoint. I've successfully edited my pythonpoint.dtd to add the 
bookmark tag and I've inherited from PPPSlide and PPMLParser classes in 
order to override the necessary methods for handling my new tag. 
However, when I try to add a new bookmark (through the Canvas object) I 
get the the exception "ValueError: format not resolved " from line 1469 
of pdfdoc.py.

The issue only comes up when a call to Canvas.addOutlineEntry() has been 
called with the 'title' and 'key' parameters containing different values 
(ie. 'mybookmarktitle', 'bookmarknumber1234' respectively). I need to be 
able to have duplicate titles for bookmarks in the outline but have 
those bookmarks indexed by different keys. Otherwise the library just 
indexes one bookmark so that it only points to one page even though the 
outline shows the bookmark twice.

For example I need my outline to look this this:

Cover Page

Section I.

    subsection a.

    subsection b.

Section II.

    subsection a.

    subsection b.

    subsection c.


Some 'subsection' bookmarks may refer to the same page (or at least 
that's what I want to do). I realize that the Slide concept for 
pythonpoint slightly conflicts with my wanting to allow having multiple 
bookmarks refer to a single page. But there is really no reason why I 
shouldn't be able to accomplish this anyway. What am I missing here? Why 
am I getting this seemingly unrelated exception?


Here's my Traceback:

Here's an example of the code I'm running. Note this code would only 
work for a single instance of a <bookmark/> but you get the point.

        self.parser.feed(inputBuffer)
