✨ mi2svg — it's giving map glow-ups ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to mi2svg from the General Commands Manual section 1 💅 this is a tool for making svg (scalable vector graphics) presentations of maps that are stored in mapinfo interchange format. yes ma'am, we are turning dusty map files into pretty vector art 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mi2svg [OPTION] [FILEPREFIX[.mif]]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: it converts FILEPREFIX.mif maps into FILEPREFIX.svg maps. ✨ And not just that — it also pulls the data fields from FILEPREFIX.mid into the SVG as class names, which is honestly iconic of it 👑

And the best part? It accepts multiple input files at once. drop a whole squad of them in there, it doesn't care, it'll handle them all 🫶

• -f — force owerwriting of existing targetfiles 🔥 (yes the original says "owerwriting", we're keeping it, it's part of the charm, no cap)

ngl if you run this on files you already have SVGs for and you don't pass -f, your existing target files are staying put — -f is the one that says "bestie, overwrite them, I'm sure" 💀
