DIC2MARKDOWN(1)

💖 DIC2MARKDOWN — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so you know how DDLm dictionaries are these big scary machine-readable files and you're like "girl what does any of this MEAN"? yeah. that's what dic2markdown is for. it's the one in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and she is serving.

✨ NAME ✨

dic2markdown — generate textual descriptions for DDLm dictionaries.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dic2markdown --options input1.dic input*.dic

like. give her options, give her dictionaries, she gives you words. that's the whole vibe. 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Generate textual descriptions for DDLm dictionaries.

(that's it. that's the description. she's short and she's iconic. no cap. 👑)

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• --use-perl-parser — use the Perl parser for CIF parsing. the perl girlie route. 🐪
• --use-c-parser — use the Perl & C parser for CIF parsing. this one is the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get. ✨
• --append-head-text — read Markdown text from a file and append it to the dictionary overview text, just before it starts enumerating the categories in the dictionary. so your cute little intro paragraph lands right in that sweet spot. 🎀
• --add-anchors — add HTML anchors for headings. this is the default, bestie. 🔗
• --no-add-anchors — (the "no" version, same energy as below)
• --dont-add-anchors — do not add HTML anchors for headings. two ways to say it, both valid, pick your fighter. 🙈
• --help, --usage — output a short usage message (this message, hi) and exit. she tells you how to use her and then she dips. 💨
• --version — output version information and exit. she'll tell you who she is and then she's gone. ⭐

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? don't be shy, tell on her. report dic2markdown bugs using e-mail: cod-bugs@ibt.lt

not me writing a whole bug report at 3am because the parser ate my dictionary 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this one lives in the General Commands Manual, section 1, and it's signed off the way all the classic man pages are — with her name right there at the bottom in that same DIC2MARKDOWN(1) glow. go generate some descriptions. slay. 💖✨
