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.
Locale::Po4a::Text is a module to help the translation of text
documents into other [human] languages.
Paragraphs are split on empty lines (or lines containing only spaces or
tabulations).
If a paragraph contains a line starting by a space (or tabulation),
this paragraph won't be rewrapped.
OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE
These are this module's particular options:
nobullets
Deactivate detection of bullets.
By default, when a bullet is detected, the bullet paragraph is not
considered as a verbatim paragraph (with the no-wrap flag in the PO
file), but the module rewraps this paragraph in the generated PO
file and in the translation.
tabs=mode
Specify how tabulations shall be handled. The mode can be any of:
split
Lines with tabulations introduce breaks in the current
paragraph.
verbatim
Paragraph containing tabulations will not be re-wrapped.
By default, tabulations are considered as spaces.
breaks=regex
A regular expression matching lines which introduce breaks. The
regular expression will be anchored so that the whole line must
match.
debianchangelog
Handle the header and footer of released versions, which only
contain non translatable informations.
fortunes
Handle the fortunes format, which separate fortunes with a line
which consists in '%' or '%%', and use '%%' as the beginning of a
comment.
markdown
Handle some special markup in Markdown-formatted texts.
asciidoc
Handle documents in the AsciiDoc format.
control[=taglist]
Handle control files. A comma-separated list of tags to be
translated can be provided.
STATUS OF THIS MODULE
Tested successfully on simple text files and NEWS.Debian files.
