NAME
       asubst - Area Substitution

SYNOPSIS
       asubst [-o outputfile] [-v] [inputfile]

DESCRIPTION
       The asubst program reads inputfile or from "stdin" and performs the following action: Characters and substrings are substituted according
       to Perl-like substitution commands enclosed by surrounding area delimiters.  The substitution commands recognized are

	  [[s/pattern/string/options]]
	  [[tr/input/output/options]]

       and the areas are defined by blocks delimited via

	 {: ... :}

EXAMPLE
	 {: [[s/ae/ä/]] [[s/ue/ü/]]
	 Foo Bar Baz Quux with Umlauts ae and ue
	 :}

OPTIONS
       -o outputfile
	   This redirects the output to outputfile. Usually the output will be send to "stdout" if no such option is specified or outputfile is
	   ""-"".

       -v  This sets verbose mode where some processing information will be given on the console.
