💖 wmlv — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is the wmlv(1) page — general commands manual energy, and it's literally all about a teeny tiny text-based WML deck viewer. yes, WML. the wireless markup language. we're going old school and we're slaying it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wmlv — Very simple text-based WML deck viewer

like, very simple. the name says it and it means it, no cap. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the vibe: this is a very simple text-based WML deck viewer. that's the whole personality. 💅

and when she says simple, she means it — this thing has no concept of:

  • WMLscript 🙈
  • definable widgets 😭
  • images 🖼️
  • tables 💀

none of it. not a single one. it just runs through the source and puts it out as it thinks is best. that's the entire algorithm, bestie. she's got main character energy and zero opinions beyond "here's the text, enjoy." ✨

Use it like this:

wmlv file.wml [card]

where [card] is an optional card to show from the deck — and if you don't pass one? the default is the first encountered. so she'll just pick one for you. queen behaviour honestly. 👑

the end result should see the output from wmld being passed to here — so wmld does its thing and pipes straight into wmlv, thereby creating a viewer which can handle bytecode too. pipeline girls rise 🫶

and the tea on the future: an X version of this is being planned, and it should be able to handle the definable widgets, images and tables that this one is out here ignoring. as for WMLscript? still beyond me at the minute. we're being honest on this page, periodt. 😭

oh and the usage line, one more time for the people in the back:

Usage: ./wmlv file.wml [card ID]

that's the whole page, no filler, all killer 🦋
