tv_to_latex — bestie, it converts XMLTV listings into LaTeX source. that's the whole job. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like. that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual 🕯️

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: you've got XMLTV data sitting there, and you want a summary of listings but make it LaTeX. tv_to_latex reads the XMLTV data and spits out LaTeX source. that's the vibe. 💅

what actually shows up in there? the programme titles, the subtitles, the times and the channels. all of it, together, looking cute.

and here are the little knobs you can turn:

• --help — the classic. it shows you help. your bestie when you're lost 🫶
• --with-desc — turns on including the programme description in the output. so like, extra lore, no extra charge.
• --output FILE — writes to FILE instead of standard output. main character move: pick your destination instead of just letting it spill out onto stdout 🌈

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, the LaTeX source it generates is not perfect. sometimes it just. produces spurious blank lines in the output. not me being dramatic, that's literally in the docs 😭 it's giving "so close to perfect" but we move.
