🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, the full tea, examples, and usage instructions live over here:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/md2po.html

go look at that if you want the full story, i'm just here to explain the flags, no cap. 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --version — spills the program's version number, then dips out ✌️
• -h/--help — shows you this help message, then dips out ✌️
• --manpage — spits out a manpage built from the help. manpage-ception, we love it 💀
• --progress — how much progress tea do you want? pick your vibe: dots, none, bar, names, verbose
• --errorlevel — how dramatic should errors be? choose your energy: none, message, exception, traceback
• -i/--input — read from INPUT, in po, pot formats 🍓
• -x/--exclude — ghost 👻 any names matching EXCLUDE out of the input paths
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT, in markdown, md, text, txt formats
• -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE, in markdown, md, text, txt formats
• -S/--timestamp — skip the conversion if the output file already has a newer timestamp. she's already cute, don't touch her 💅
• -m/--maxlinelength — reflow (word wrap) the output to the given maximum line length. set it to 0 to disable. yes <italic>0</italic> means off, lowkey chaotic but okay ✨
• --no-code-blocks — do not extract code blocks for translation. hands off the code, bestie 🙈
• --no-frontmatter — do not extract front matter for translation
• --no-placeholders — instead of the {n} placeholder markers, look up translation units by their full inline markdown (links, images, autolinks, HTML spans rendered verbatim). ⚠️ use this together with md2po --no-placeholders, they're a matching set okay 🫶
• --threshold — only convert files where the translation completion is above PERCENT
• --fuzzy — use translations marked fuzzy ✨
• --nofuzzy — don't use translations marked fuzzy. this is the default, she's the baseline behavior 💖

🌈 reminder bestie: these have to stay exactly as written — don't go renaming flags or "fixing" them, the computer will simply not get it. iykyk.
