Short: Text-style converter (normal, PGS3, HTML)

Type: text/misc
Warning: you need at least GOLDED 3+
it is ARexx (slow, but easy for you to add or change features)
the word "style" means a certain set of formating-codes
Converts Textengine-style to any other style (currently PGS3 and HTML), incl.
all headers etc. If possible, the text will get directly transfered to the
target application.
Put Textengine.ged and TEM whereever you like. Textengine needs the env-variable
Textengine, which specifies the path of the TEM-directory (for the styles end
targets). That means, new modules are simply installed by putting them in the
appropriate directory.
Textengine Commands are in "<" and ">" brackets, usually their scope is limited
by the corresponding "". Case sensitiv (maybe, didn't care about
that). Every command will be transformed to a more or less complex different
text-format, like PageStream3 or HTML. Commands which can't be transformed won't
make trouble, they'll produce simple-text output.
The Textengine-style is designed to be easily readable (at least for human
beings), even before it get's transformed to the final version. That means, it's
something like TeX-light, but the source is a bit easier to read. Main advantage
is, that you can use ONE file for any supported target. This is similar to
texinfo.
TextEngine is context-sensitive, see example.
Important features:
- WORKING Drop Caps in PGS
- Lists (numbered, bulleted, custom)
- Random emphasize function in PGS ( automatically selects
one out of big, bold, subscript, superscript...)
- It's easy for you to programm your own functions
The documentation is BAD, but there are examples. You'll have to play with it at
first.
If you want to get additional targets, or any new feature, contact me. Or
programm them yourself (not too difficult).
