Again, I have written a XSL stylesheet.
This time, it serves me to facilitate writing posts and blog entries, here on LinuxQuestions.org, by transforming HTML to the markdown-syntax supported by LQ.
Taken the html-version of a man-page, like for HTML2Index, which is generated automatically alongside the other file-formats (PDF and man), I can call an xsltprocessor, like xsltproc with the new stylesheet and get a text-version of the HTML-page, ready to be copied&pasted to, either my blog (as I did) or a forum post.
For HTML2index, the command had been:
.
See the result in my updated blog entry.
Here is the style-sheet (Remove the '.txt' extension).
The code-tag on LQ destroys part of the XSL-code, therefore I will not show you the style-sheet right in this blog entry

nice!
a little shell script wrapper:
Code:#!/bin/sh default="$HOME/.local/share/lq_bbcode.xsl" LQ_BBCODE="${LQ_BBCODE-"$default"}" usage() { echo " Usage: $0 infile Output to stdout The shell variable LQ_BBCODE points to the XSL file to be used currently: $LQ_BBCODE default: $default " exit 1 } ! [ -r "$1" ] && echo "Input file \"$1\" is not readable" && usage xsltproc --html "$LQ_BBCODE" "$1" 2>/dev/nullPosted 10-16-2018 at 01:58 AM by ondoho
