PO4A-NORMALIZE.1P(1)  User Contributed Perl Documentation PO4A-NORMALIZE.1P(1)


NAME
       po4a-normalize - normalize a documentation file by parsing it in po4a,
       and writing it back

SYNOPSIS
       po4a-normalize -f fmt master.doc

DESCRIPTION
       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

       The po4a-normalize script is a debugging tool used to make sure that
       po4a don't change the document when it's not supposed to. Only use it
       if you're developing a new module, or if you doubt the sanity of the
       tools.

       The generated document will be written to po4a-normalize.output while
       the generated POT file will be written to po4a-normalize.po by default,
       but you can use the --localized and --pot options to change that.

OPTIONS
       -o, --option
           Extra option(s) to pass to the format plugin. See the documentation
           of each plugin for more information about the valid options and
           their meanings. For example, you could pass '-o tablecells' to the
           AsciiDoc parser, while the text parser would accept '-o
           tabs=split'.

       -w, --width
           Column at which we should wrap the resulting file if the format
           supports it (default: 76).

       -b, --blank
           Create a blank translated document.  The generated translated
           document will be generated assuming all messages are translated by
           a space or new line.

           This is useful to check what parts of the document cannot be
           translated.

           Both --blank and --capitalize can't be specified at the same time.

       -C, --capitalize
           Create a translated document and corresponding po-file with
           original strings translated as their capitalized versions.

           This is useful to check what parts of the document cannot be
           translated and generate test data for po4a.

           Both --blank and --capitalize can't be specified at the same time.

       -h, --help
           Show a short help message.

       --help-format
           List the documentation formats understood by po4a.

       -f, --format
           Format of the documentation you want to handle. Use the
           --help-format option to see the list of available formats.

       -M, --master-charset
           Charset of the file containing the document to translate.

       -l, --localized
           Name of the normalized file to produce (po4a-normalize.output by
           default).

       -p, --pot
           Pot file to produce (po4a-normalize.po by default).

       -V, --version
           Display the version of the script and exit.
