• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Narada Sage 2003-04-13 20:30:02 UTC]

Hello.  I'd like to make a request for an ebuild for the following package to
enter the stable tree.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/grutatxt/?topic_id=867

Here is a description from freshmeat.net.  "Grutatxt is a plain text to HTML
converter. It successfully converts subtle text markup to lists, bold, italics,
tables, and headings to their corresponding HTML tags without having to write
unreadable source text files".  Many thanks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

grutatxt-2.0.5.ebuild

The description variable was not capitalised and was not being recognised and
also the package version was old.  This new ebuild takes care of both issues. 
Thanks.

Tested.  It works fine.

just a question, but does this add functionality over html2text -unparse <file.txt> which, for me at least, works okay ?

there's also txt2tags in portage which can covert to numerous formats, including html.

Added in app-text now.
