Source File Definition

Generally a source file is a file, from which DDC reads information to index. A list of source files is the first input parameter for the indexing process (CConcIndexatorInvoker::BuildIndex). The second parameter is a file of options. Source files are used only during the indexing, and they can be removed afterwards. The current version supports the following types of source files:

• 1. Plain text (Russian Win-1251, German ISO-8859-1), extension *.txt.
• 2. Html text (Russian Win-1251, German ISO-8859-1), extension *.html, *.htm.
• 3. Xml text, extension *.xml.
  

If a source file is an xml file then DDC extracts some bibliographical information from it (class CBibliography) and stores it as an additional index, otherwise the bibliographical index is empty. For parsing DDC uses TinyXml project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyxml )
A source file can be also a tar archive.
All source files of one DDC index are stored in CConcIndexator::m_SourceFiles .
