🌸 yodlpost(1) — the post-processor glow-up 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to yodlpost, aka the Yodl post-processor from the Your Own Document Language fam. she's the second half of the Yodl pipeline and she's lowkey the moment 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

yodlpost [options] index yodlout [out]

like… three positional args, one optional, and a whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea. the Yodl post processor exists to solve references into the converted text, and to split the converted Yodl text into parts where that's appropriate. that's literally her whole job and she eats every time 🔥

ngl some conversions don't need post-processing at all — LaTeX is the main character who skips the line, for example — but most conversions do need her. so in most cases, a full Yodl conversion is a two-phase situation, periodt:

  1. first, yodl(1) gets called, and she produces a raw output file plus an associated index file 👑
  2. then, yodlpost(1) gets called, and she converts those two files into a final document ✨

and fr fr, normally you don't even call these yourself — the yodl2...(1) scripts are the ones that run complete Yodl conversions for you, like a little automated bestie doing all the steps 🙈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -x ext — sets the extension of the out-s, but only if it's different from out's extension itself. and if you omit -x entirely, and out has no extension, then ypp (Yodl Post Processor) gets used. that's the default, bestie, she picked it herself 💜

that's it. that's the whole list. not a single bug to report, she's flawless, we love that for her 😭💅
