LDC #28: Chrome Alignment Issue with SEC Filings

10-11-2017 Update: As of Chrome 61, it appears this issue has been resolved. Chrome displays these pages correctly now.


Last week, the Novaworks support team was alerted to a very interesting bug when viewing certain filings on the EDGAR website. In documents that are sufficiently large, a TABLE tag that uses left align or right align or a DIV tag that uses float left or float right can cause the document to display out of order in Google Chrome. Normally, Chrome has no problem displaying these files. However, when the document is filed to the SEC, EDGAR injects some non-HTML tags at the top of it. At the top of every document, the SEC injects tags like these:

LDC #26: Automatically Changing the EDGAR Preferences Part 1

This blog is the first part of a two part series. This first part will discuss how to change the EDGAR Preferences in Legato and show an example script to change the Filing Agent credentials automatically when a project is opened. The second part will show how to secure the script to prevent users from accessing any private information needed by the script. Be advised that the script in this first part is usable as-is, but the second part adds crucial security to prevent users from reading the agent credentials.

LDC #25: Enumerating Menu Functions

In the past weeks we’ve explored multiple different scripts that hook into GoFiler menu functions. These have included creating custom table polishing scripts and inserting images directly into EDGAR HTML files. The capacity to hook custom functions into GoFiler through its menu functions is an extremely powerful aspect of Legato scripting. This week we’re going to examine a short script that can enumerate the menu functions in GoFiler. Our script prints the list of menu functions to both the log and to a CSV file, which provides more permanent storage for later reference.

LDC #24: Inserting Text Into an HTML Edit Window

This week’s script is another real-world example that was requested by a client. When inserting an image into an EDGAR HTML file, the image has to be in the same folder as the HTML. This script adds a menu command that allows an image to be inserted and copied to the same folder in one step. To do this, we use a lot of SDK functions we’ve discussed in earlier blog posts, however, in this post we also discuss inserting text at the current cursor position.
