XGETTEXT-TXT(1p)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet xgettext-txt — it's the xgettext-txt manual page (that's the 1p section, perl peeps 🫶) and its whole entire job is creating PO files out of text files. that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

---

🌸 USAGE 🌸

here's how you run it, no cap:

xgettext-txt [OPTIONS] TEXTFILE[, TEXTFILE]
xgettext-txt [OPTIONS] --files-from="filelist"
xgettext-txt --help

like, three whole ways. pick your fighter. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically it reads one or more text files and turns every paragraph into a translatable string inside a PO file (or a .pot file, same energy). paragraphs in, translatable strings out. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

if you want the full list of options (and there are a lot, we're not playing around), go check the online docs for Locale::XGettext over at http://search.cpan.org/~guido/Locale-XGettext/lib/Locale/XGettext.pm, or literally just run perldoc Locale::XGettext in your terminal and read it there. both give you the complete rundown. 📚

---

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, there's a known wish here: it should be possible to specify alternative delimiters and not just paragraphs. right now? paragraphs only. sad but true. 😭
