💖 CADABRA2CADABRA 💖

okay bestie, so this is cadabra2cadabra from section 1 of the manual pages — a whole little glow-up tool for your Cadabra files. she's tiny but she works, and i'm gonna tell you everything, no gatekeeping. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

cadabra2cadabra — convert Cadabra2 notebooks to text input files

like. that's her whole job. that's the assignment. and she ate. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cadabra2cadabra [cadabra notebook file (.cnb)] [cadabra text file (.cdb)]

two arguments, that's it, that's the vibe check. a .cnb notebook goes in, a .cdb text file comes out. in and out, iconic behavior. 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the lore, bestie. 📖

The Cadabra2-Gtk notebook front-end for Cadabra2 produces notebooks in a JSON format. cute, right? very aesthetic, very structured, very much a notebook.

but the command-line client cadabra2 doesn't want JSON. she wants the classic thing. so this command converts those JSON notebooks to standard text input files — the kind that can be processed with the command-line client cadabra2. 🫶

that's literally it. one job. JSON notebook in, text file out, and then you hand it over to cadabra2 and she handles the rest. no cap. 🔥

not me being obsessed with a converter. it's giving pipeline. it's giving workflow. it's giving "i don't want to open the GUI today". 🙈
