IMP2GBS.1(1)

💖 IMP2GBS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about imp2gbs from section 1 of the manual — a whole general book module creation tool and honestly? she's lowkey a queen. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

imp2gbs — the general book module creation tool. that's it, that's the whole job description, and she does it flawlessly fr fr 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imp2gbs [input file] [OPTIONS]

so like, you hand her an input file, you sprinkle some options on top, and she goes to work. main character energy, literally. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: imp2gbs is a command line utility that converts an imp (that's "import", bestie, short for import-formatted) general book into a SWORD module. that's the whole vibe. input goes in, SWORD module comes out, and you get to feel extremely smart about it. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per option, no skipping, we do not leave the girlies behind. 💜

• -o [PATH] — tell her where to drop the output, if you want it somewhere other than wherever the input file lives. path goes here, bestie. 🍓
• -a — create an augment module. the default, if you don't say anything, is to create a new module instead. so this flag is you being like "no babe, augment it." ✨
• -O — overwrite entries that have the same key. the default behaviour is to append, so if you want the overwrite life you gotta ask for it. 🔥
• -U — a key filter that converts things to toUpper. uppercase everything, slay. 👑
• -g — a key filter that strips greek diacritics. bye bye little marks, we hardly knew ye. 🦋
• -l [levels] — a key filter that does Pseudo-Lexicon n-level generation using the first character. the example in the book is literally this:

-l 2 Abbey -> A/AB/Abbey

so you say -l 2, you feed it Abbey, and out comes A/AB/Abbey. that's the whole magic trick and honestly? obsessed. 🌈

bestie… there's nothing listed here. the section exists, the section is beautiful, the section is empty. iconic minimalist behaviour honestly, we respect it. 💅

reminder: keep every flag exactly as written — no renaming, no "fixing", no vibes-based improvising. the flags are the flags. periodt. 💀
