LUDEVIT(1)						      General Commands Manual							LUDEVIT(1)

NAME
ludevit - converter from standard Slovak into L. Stur version SYNOPSIS
ludevit [options][file] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the ludevit command. ludevit converts text from standard Slovak into the verion designed by L. Stur. OPTIONS
-h --help Show help and exit. -D --nfkd Normalize the output text to NFKD unicode normalization -d --nfkd-hack Normalize the letters d and t with caron to NFKD unicode normalization, keep the rest in NFKC. -eENC --encoding=ENC Use ENC as input/output encoding. While you can use any encoding supported by python, probably only one of utf-8, iso8859_2, cp1250, cp852 or mac_latin2 makes sense. -oFILE --output-file=FILE Instead of standard output, write the translated text to the FILE USAGE
ludevit acts as a filter, reading by default UTF-8 encoded text from the standard input and writing UTF-8 encoded text to the standard out- put. Alternatively, if a file name is given as an argumet, ludevit will translate this file (in UTF-8 encoding). NOTE
Due to technical restrictions, the program is actually installed under the name ludevit. AUTHOR
