uni2ascii 4.10 (Default branch)

Imageuni2ascii and ascii2uni convert between UTF-8Unicode and 29 7-bit ASCII equivalents including:hexadecimal and decimal HTML and SGML numericcharacter references, \u-escapes, standardhexadecimal, raw hexadecimal, and RFC2396 URIformat. Such ASCII equivalents are useful forentering Unicode in program source or in programsthat are not 8-bit safe, and for testing anddebugging. Several options allow Unicode to beconverted to approximately equivalent ASCII, e.g.by stripping diacritics. An optional GUI isprovided.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
This release fixes a bug that made the Y argument to the -a flag of ascii2uni a no-op, and corrects the man pages and help for the Y and Q arguments to the -a flag for both programs. The Y argument is now an error for uni2ascii. The version information and action summaries are more informative.Image

NAME
sgmltools - process sgml files. SYNOPSIS
sgmltools [-b backend] [-d] [-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-s dsssl_spec] [-j jadeopt] [--backend={onehtml,html,ps,dvi,rtf,txt,ld2db,jade- tex,pdb,lynx,w3m}] [--debug] [--verbose] [--dsssl-spec=dsssl_spec] [--jade-opt=jadeopt] [--version] [--help] [--license] DESCRIPTION
sgmltools is the central driver of SGMLtools. You can use it to convert SGML input files to various formats, as indicated by the --backend switch. OPTIONS -b, --backend Select the backend to use. Currently, there are five different backends to choose from. ps expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into PostScript. dvi expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into DVI. rtf expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into RTF. onehtml expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into a single HTML; the resulting file will be put in the current directory (default). html expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into HTML; the resulting files will be put in a subdirectory. txt expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. Note that this backend actually uses the w3m (pre- ferred) or lynx (if w3m not found) backends. ld2db expects a LinuxDoc-SGML file and will convert it into DocBook SGML. jadetex expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into JadeTeX input. Only use this if you know what you're doing. pdb expects a Doc- Book SGML file and will convert it into the iSilo format used on Palm devices. w3m expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. w3m does a better job of exporting HTML as ASCII text than Lynx, since w3m understands tables. One should normally use the txt backend and let sgmltools decide which ASCII exporter is available. lynx expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. One should normally use the txt backend and let sgmltools decide which ASCII exporter is available. -d, --debug Enable debugging. All temporary files will be left as is and possibly extra information on the processing steps is printed to stderr. -v, --verbose Be verbose. Information on commands executed, etcetera, will be printed to stdout. -s, --dsssl-spec Specify the DSSSL stylesheet to apply (see STYLESHEETS, below). -j, --jade-opt Pass additional options directly to Jade. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully (tbd). -V, --version Print version information on standard output then exit successfully (tbd). -l, --license Print license information STYLESHEETS
The DSSSL specification may be either a filename, a public identifier or a DSSSL alias (resolved via one of the alias files /etc/sgml/aliases and ~/.sgmlaliases to either a filename or a public identifier). ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
TMPDIR Temporary directory. If it is on a local filesystem, a lot of copying will be avoided. Furthermore, setting this will prevent SGML- tools from using /tmp and thus will prevent people trying to make use of race conditions. SGML_CATALOG_FILES The SGML Open catalog files to use for resolving public identifiers into system identifiers. BUGS
This is an early developer release, so don't expect it to behave in any useful way. It won't make coffee or tea. SOURCES
