💖 CEDILLA(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

bestie, welcome to the cedilla page — she's a best-effort text printer, and the manual name is literally right there in the title, periodt ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cedilla — a best-effort text printer 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole command shape, exactly as printed, no cap:

cedilla [-fs fontset] [-p papersize] [-s size] [-bs baselineskip] [-w]
[-h header] [-hb header-baseline] [-f footer] [-fb footer-baseline]
infile [outfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Cedilla is a text printer that uses Unicode internally and will make heroic efforts to find or design suitable glyphs for exotic or rare characters. literally heroic glyph-hunting behavior, and I'm obsessed 🦋✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -fs fontset — tells Cedilla to use the list of fonts specified by fontset. The set of available fontsets is listed in the file /etc/cedilla-config.lisp. 📚
• -p papersize — uses the paper size specified by papersize (default A4). The set of available paper sizes is listed in the file /etc/cedilla-config.lisp. 🎀
• -s size — sets the font size to size points (default 11). 💅
• -bs baselineskip — separates lines by baselineskip (by default, equal to size). 📏
• -w — enables line wrapping. 🌈
• -h header — sets the header format to header. See HEADER AND FOOTER FORMATS below. 💖
• -hb header-baseline — sets the header's baseline to be at a distance of header-baseline (default 1cm) of the top of the page. The argument must be a number in points. 📐
• -f footer — sets the footer format to header. See HEADER AND FOOTER FORMATS below. 🙈 yes, the page says header here — I'm preserving the typo, not fixing it, bestie 💀
• -fb footer-baseline — sets the footer's baseline to be at a distance of header-baseline of the top of the page. 🌸 again, that's the literal wording — header-baseline, not footer-baseline 😭
• -v — be verbose about unprintable characters. 💀
• -l — lists all glyphs known to Cedilla in the current fontset. 🔍
• -V — displays the version of Cedilla and exits. 👑
• -? — prints a short help message and exits. 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /etc/cedilla-config.lisp — the system-wide configuration file for Cedilla. 💾

🦋 HEADER AND FOOTER FORMAT 🦋

The format passed to the -h and -f options is of the form:

[left,]center[,right]

where left, center and right are strings that may contain any of the following sequences:

• %% — typesets a percent sign. 💯
• %, — typesets a comma. 🎀
• %p — typesets the page number as an Arabic number. 🔢
• %P — typesets the page number in words. 📝
• %r — typesets the page number as a small Roman number. 🏛️
• %R — typesets the page number as a Roman number. 👑

💜 NOTES 💜

By design, Cedilla only accepts input data in UTF-8. You are expected to use an external converter such as iconv(1) or luit(1) in order to print text encoded in a legacy encoding. 🌈

Cedilla is unable to print data that comes from a pipe; this is unavoidable, as Cedilla makes two passes over its input file. 😭 no pipe printing, bestie — two passes, periodt.

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶💜 it's CEDILLA(1) from the General Commands Manual — the original footer didn't give a separate version or date, so no extra numbers to report, periodt ✨🎀
