THESAURUS2ANY(1p)

💅 THESAURUS2ANY — the glow-up your thesaurus desperately needed

okay bestie, so <rainbow>thesaurus2any</rainbow> is a lil Perl script (it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man pages, iykyk) and it does exactly one iconic thing: it takes a thesaurus file and translates that thesaurus-y notation into XML catalogue format — or back into thesaurus format after it's been completed — or into LaTeX format. three vibes, one command. main character energy fr fr. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSYS ✨

(yeah the original spells it like that and we're respecting it, no notes 💖)

thesaurus2any -cat file > file.xml
thesaurus2any -thes file > file.the
thesaurus2any -tex file > file.tex

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically: this tool reads your thesaurus file and translates it into one of three formats, depending on the flag you give it —

• XML catalogue format
• thesaurus format, after completion
• LaTeX format

that's the whole plot. no cap. 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -cat — XML catalogue format. yes queen, give us the <tags>. 💜
• -thes — thesaurus format. the post-completion glow-up version. ✨
• -tex — LaTeX format. for when you're feeling academic and fancy. 🎓
• -multi — it's here! it's on the list! the manpage does not say what it does and we are not about to make something up, so take it as written, bestie. 🙈

lowkey reminder: the descriptions above are literally all the manpage gives us — no hidden lore, no extra tips. don't come for me. 💀

and that's the page, bestie!! 🫶 this one came to you from the perl v5.34.0 era, dated 2022-06-09, filed under THESAURUS2ANY(1p) in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section. periodt. 💅🌸
