SendtoOneNote

Overview: This addin provides a program to create links to files on OneNote pages. Shortcuts are created in the SendTo folder. This allows files to be sent to OneNote by right clicking on them and selecting SendTo. Two links are created which allow the sent files to be added to the current page or a new page.  If the file is an XML file, an XSL transform is applied which outputs OneNote xml which is then incorporated into the current page.

 

This program was originally based on Daniel Escapa's sendToOne powertoy. However, instead of embedding the files in OneNote it creates a link. It also automatically applies an XSLT transform to any XML files you send.

Setup

 

XSLT customization:  In the program directory is an xslt file "onenote_simtable.xslt" This xsl transform generates a OneNote table from an XML file. This table is then inserted into the current page. You can change/customize the XSLT transformation just by modifying this file.

 

The intended use was to create OneNote tables which describe computer simulations. It is assumed that the  program creating the simulation can output an XML file describing the simulation.  The XSL file converts this XML code into OneNote xml which can then be added to the current page.

 

XML format: A description of the XML nodes expected by the XSL file.

• file -root node of the tree
• simulation - each simulation describes a different simulation
• Attribute name:  this attribute assigns a name to the simulation

• simparam- describes a parameter (or potentially an output) of the simulation

 

 

Known Bugs:

1. Sending a link to the current page does not work if the page ends in Ink as opposed to text.
