TV_TO_LATEX(1)

📦 version 1.4.0, in alpine 3.24

okay so bestie, welcome to TV_TO_LATEX(1) — the User Contributed Perl Documentation cutie in the building 💅✨ this page is all about turning XMLTV listings into LaTeX source, and we're gonna get through it together, no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

  • tv_to_latex — Convert XMLTV listings to LaTeX source. literally the whole point, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tv_to_latex [--help] [--with-desc] [--output FILE] [FILE...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It reads XMLTV data and outputs LaTeX source for a summary of listings. The programme titles, subtitles, times and channels are shown. that's the serve, bestie 🫶

option tea, lowkey iconic ☕:

  • --help — listed in the synopsis; this page doesn't give it extra lore here, so we're not inventing any 💀
  • --with-desc — include programme description in output.
  • --output FILE — write to FILE rather than standard output.

Also the synopsis shows [FILE...] — those are the file arguments, and the page leaves it at that. no extra backstory, bestie 🦋

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

xmltv(5). go read that for the deeper XMLTV cinematic universe, iykyk.

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Ed Avis, ed@membled.com. an icon, truly 💜

💀 BUGS 💀

not gonna lie, the LaTeX source generated is not perfect 😭 — it sometimes produces spurious blank lines in the output. so yeah, that's the known bug vibe, bestie.

that's the whole page! source/version: perl v5.42.2 — date: 2025-06-30. mwah, bye 💖🎀✨
