I'm a Unix newbie.
In a shell-script, is there any way to accept keyboard input (via STDIN) without having it display on the screen? I know keying in a login password sort of does this by replacing what you key with astericks (*) but I believe that's a "C" routine. I'd like to be able to... (2 Replies)
How can I write to another user's pseudo tty, but not to its current prompt position (as in open("/dev/pts007", ...) followed by write() ). Instead I would like to write to the top center of the screen using color red, for example. Like curses, but from another console. (6 Replies)
I am developing a script that will run with '/bin/ksh' shell.
The script is intended to receive a password by keyboard input, but for security reasons I would like to hide what the user is typing.
The keyboard input is being caught by 'read' command.

html::fromtext
HTML::FromText(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::FromText(3pm)NAME
HTML::FromText - Convert plain text to HTML.
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FromText;
text2html( $text, %options );
# or
use HTML::FromText ();
my $t2h = HTML::FromText->new( \%options );
my $html = $t2h->parse( $html );
DESCRIPTION
"HTML::FromText" converts plain text to HTML. There are a handfull of options that shape the conversion. There is a utility function,
"text2html", that's exported by default. This function is simply a short- cut to the Object Oriented interface described in detail below.
Methods
The following methods may be used as the public interface.
new
my $t2h = HTML::FromText->new({
paras => 1,
blockcode => 1,
tables => 1,
bullets => 1,
numbers => 1,
urls => 1,
email => 1,
bold => 1,
underline => 1,
});
Constructs a new "HTML::FromText" object using the given configuration. The resulting object can parse lots of objects using the "parse"
method.
Options to "new" are passed by name, with the value being either true or false. If true, the option will be turned on. If false, it will be
turned off. The following outlines all the options.
Decorators
metachars
This option is on by default.
All characters that are unsafe for HTML display will be encoded using "HTML::Entities::encode_entities()".
urls This option is off by default.
Replaces URLs with links.
email
This option is off by default.
Replaces email addresses with "mailto:" links.
bold This option is off by default.
Replaces text surrounded by asterisks ("*") with the same text surrounded by "strong" tags.
underline
This option is off by default.
Replaces text surrownded by underscores ("_") with the same text surrounded by "span" tags with an underline style.
Output Modes
The following are three output modes and the options associated with them. They are listed in order of precidence. If none of these modes
are supplied, the basic decorators are applied to the text in whole.
pre This option is off by default.
Wraps the entire text in "pre" tags.
lines
This option is off by default.
Preserves line breaks by inserting "br" tags at the end of each line.
This mode has further options.
spaces
This option is off by default.
All spaces are HTML encoded.
paras
This option is off by default.
Preserves paragraphs by wrapping them in "p" tags.
This mode has further options.
bullets
This option is off by default.
Convert bulleted lists into unordered lists ("ul"). Bullets can be either an asterisk ("*") or a hyphen ("-"). Lists can be
nested.
numbers
This option is off by default.
Convert numbered lists into ordered lists ("ol"). Numbered lists are identified by numerals. Lists may be nested.
headings
This option is off by default.
Convert paragraphs identified as headings into HTML headings at the appropriate level. The heading "1. Top" would be heading
level one ("h1"). The heading "2.5.1. Blah" would be heading level three ("h3").
title
This option is off by default.
Convert the first paragraph to a heading level one ("h1").
tables
This option is off by default.
Convert paragraphs identified as tables to HTML tables. Tables are two or more rows and two or more columns. Columns should be
separated by two or more spaces.
The following options apply specifically to indented paragraphs. They are listed in order of precidence.
blockparas
This option is off by default.
Convert indented paragraphs to block quotes using the "blockquote" tag.
blockquotes
Convert indented paragraphs as "blockparas" would, but also preserving line breaks.
blockcode
Convert indented paragraphs as "blockquotes" would, but also preserving spaces using "pre" tags.
parse
my $html = $t2h->parse( $text );
Parses text supplied as a single scalar string and returns the HTML as a single scalar string. All the tabs in your text will be expanded
using "Text::Tabs::expand()".
Functions
text2html
my $html = text2html(
$text,
urls => 1,
email => 1,
);
Functional interface that just wraps the OO interface. This function is exported by default. If you don't want it you can "require" the
module or "use" it with an empty list.
require HTML::FromText;
# or ...
use HTML::FromText ();
Subclassing
Note: At the time of this release, the internals of "HTML::FromText" are in a state of development and cannot be expected to stay the same
from release to release. I expect that release version 3.00 will be analogous to a 1.00 release of other software. This is because the cur-
rent maintainer has rewritten this distribution from the ground up for the "2.x" series. You have been warned.
The following methods may be used for subclassing "HTML::FromText" to create your own text to HTML conversions. Each of these methods is
passed just one argument, the object ($self), unless otherwise stated.
The structure of $self is as follows for this release.
{
options => {
option_name => $value,
...
},
text => $text, # as passed to parse(), with tabs expanded
html => $html, # the HTML that will be returned from parse()
}
pre
Used when "pre" mode is specified.
Should set "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
lines
Used when "lines" mode is specified.
Implements the "spaces" option internally when the option is set to a true value.
Should set "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
paras
Used when the "paras" mode is specified.
Splits "$self->{text}" into paragraphs internally and sets up "$self->{paras}" as follows.
paras => {
0 => {
text => $text, # paragraph text
html => $html, # paragraph html
},
... # and so on for all paragraphs
},
Implements the "title" option internally when the option is turned on.
Converts any normal paragraphs to HTML paragraphs (surrounded by "p" tags) internally.
Should set "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
headings
Used to format headings when the "headings" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
bullets
Format bulleted lists when the "bullets" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
numbers
Format numbered lists when the "numbers" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
tables
Format tables when the "tables" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
blockparas
Used when the "blockparas" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
blockquotes
Used when the "blockquotes" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
blockcode
Used when the "blockcode" option is turned on.
Return value is ignored.
urls
Turn urls into links when "urls" option is turned on.
Should operate on "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
email
Turn email addresses into "mailto:" links when "email" option is turned on.
Should operate on "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
underline
Underline things between _underscores_ when "underline" option is turned on.
Should operate on "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
bold
Bold things between *asterisks* when "bold" option is turned on.
Should operate on "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
metachars
Encode meta characters when "metachars" option is turned on.
Should operate on "$self->{html}".
Return value is ignored.
Output
The output from "HTML::FromText" has been updated to pass XHTML 1.1 validation. Every HTML tag that should have a CSS class name does. They
are prefixed with "hft-" and correspond to the names of the options to "new()" (or "text2html()"). For example "hft-lines", "hft-paras",
and "hft-urls".
One important note is the output for "underline". Because the <u> tag is deprecated in this specification a "span" is used with a style
attribute of "text-decoration: underline". The class is "hft- underline". If you want to override the "text-decoration" style in the CSS
class you'll need to do so like this.
text-decoration: none !important;
