SVGPP(1)

✨ SVGPP — like, the manual page but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is svgpp, a pretty-printer for SVG files, and she is serving ✨ (the official manual name is SVGPP(1), under User Commands, and honestly? iconic.)

🌸 NAME 🌸

svgpp — pretty-printer for SVG files 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

svgpp
    [options] <input file> [<output file>]

like, you give her an input file, you may give her an output file, and you sprinkle options on top like glitter. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

svgpp pretty-prints SVG code to standard output. that's it, that's the girl. she takes your messy little SVG and makes it presentable. main character energy for your markup. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -xml-decl <string> — the value you want to set for the XML declaration. give her a string, she'll put it in. 🫶
• -system-id <string> — the value you want to set for the system ID of the doctype. 💜
• -tab-width <number> — sets the tabulation width. the default is 4. so if you don't say anything, she's doing 4, no cap. ⭐
• -doc-width <number> — sets the document's preferred number of columns. the default is 80. yes, she has opinions about line length, and honestly? valid. 📏
• -no-format — disables any formatting. useful for doctype modifications, newline conversion, and, uh, ... (the manual literally trails off there, and honestly, relatable 🙈). it does exactly what it says: no formatting, periodt.
• -public-id <string> — the value you want to set for the public ID of the doctype. 🌸
• -newline (cr | cr-lf | lf) — specifies the type of newline to output. possible values are: cr (mac), cr-lf (dos), lf (unix — and this one is the default). pick your line-ending girlie wisely. 🧚
• -doctype (change | remove) — removes or changes the DOCTYPE declaration. change is used in conjunction with the -public-id and -system-id options. so like, change doesn't fly solo, she needs her friends. 👑

ngl, the -doctype values only go two ways here: change or remove. there is no third option. don't go looking for one. 💀

☕ JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE ☕

this program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). so you, lucky you, benefit from several features — please see the java-wrappers(7) manual page for more information about them. she's standing on the shoulders of a whole other manual page, and she knows it. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 the footer of the original says this is a pretty printer for SVG, dated January 2008, from SVGPP(1) — so yeah, she's been slaying since 2008 and the source/version line is still out here doing its thing. mwah. 💅✨
