Operating Systems Linux Google Chrome OS Do we need many Operating Systems? Post 302520649 by a sandwhich on Sunday 8th of May 2011 11:15:03 PM

Yes, yes we do. wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems
wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions
And that doesn't cover many of the smaller experimental os's and the like. It adds variety. It is like asking why are there so many different types of cars or breads. They all drive and taste differently. Also they are tailored to suit their purpose. I know there are several that have spawned from the medical industry.

NAME
html2wiki - convert HTML into wiki markup SYNOPSIS
html2wiki [options] [file] Commonly used options: --dialect=dialect Dialect name, e.g. "MediaWiki" (required unless the WCDIALECT environment variable is used) --encoding=encoding Source encoding (default is 'utf-8') --base-uri=uri Base URI for relative links --wiki-uri=uri URI fragment for wiki links --wrap-in-html Wrap input in <html> and </html> (enabled by default). Use --no-wrap-in-html to disable. --escape-entities Escape HTML entities within text elements (enabled by default). Use --no-escape-entities to disable. --list List installed dialects and exit --options List all recognized options (except for negations such as --no-wrap-in-html) --help Show this message and exit Additional options, including those corresponding to dialect attributes, are also supported. Consult the html2wiki man page for details. Example: html2wiki --dialect MediaWiki --encoding iso-8859-1 --base-uri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ --wiki-uri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ input.html > output.wiki DESCRIPTION
"html2wiki" is a command-line interface to HTML::WikiConverter, which it uses to convert HTML to wiki markup. DIALECTS
If the dialect you provide in "--dialect" is not installed on your system (e.g. if you specify "MediaWiki" but have not installed its dialect module, HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki) a fatal error will be issued. Use "html2wiki --list" to list all available dialects on your system. Additional dialects may be downloaded from the CPAN. OPTIONS
Correspondence of options and attributes Each of the options accepted by "html2wiki" corresponds to an HTML::WikiConverter attribute. Commonly used options described in "html2wiki --help" therefore correspond to attributes discussed in "ATTRIBUTES" in HTML::WikiConverter. That section also contains other attributes that may be used as "html2wiki" command-line options. Mapping an attribute name to an option name While related, option names are not identical to their corresponding attribute names. The only difference is that attribute names use underscores to separate words while option names use hyphens. For example, the "base_uri" attribute corresponds to the "--base-uri" command-line option. Additional options defined in dialect modules Individual dialects may define their own attributes, and therefore make available their own command-line options to "html2wiki", in addition to the ones defined by "HTML::WikiConverter". The same rules described above apply for converting between these attribute names and their corresponding command-line option names. For example, Markdown supports an "unordered_list_style" attribute that takes a string value. To use this attribute on the command line, one would use the "--unordered-list-style" option. Consult individual dialect man pages for a list of supported attributes. Options that are enabled by default Attributes that take boolean values may be enabled by default. The "wrap_in_html" attribute is one such example. Because of this, "html2wiki" will effectively behave by default as if "--wrap-in-html" had been specified in every invokation. If this is not desired, the option name may be prefixed with "no-" to disable the option, as in "--no-wrap-in-html". Options that take multiple values Some attributes (eg, "wiki_uri" and "strip_tags") accept an array of values. To accommodate this in "html2wiki", such options can be specified more than once on the command line. For example, to specify that only comment and script elements should be stripped from HTML: % html2wiki --strip-tags ~comment --strip-tags script ... INPUT
/OUTPUT Input is taken from STDIN, so you may pipe the output from another program into "html2wiki". For example: curl http://example.com/input.html | html2wiki --dialect MediaWiki You may also specify a file to read HTML from: html2wiki --dialect MediaWiki input.html Output is sent to STDOUT, though you may redirect it on the command line: html2wiki --dialect MediaWiki input.html > output.wiki Or you may pipe it into another program: html2wiki --dialect MediaWiki input.html | less AUTHOR
