Text::Typography can markup ASCII text with correct typography for HTML.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Typography qw(typography);

print typography($text);

This module is a thin wrapper for John Grubers SmartyPants plugin for various CMSs.

SmartyPants is a web publishing utility that translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into "smart" typographic punctuation HTML entities. SmartyPants can perform the following transformations:

Straight quotes ( " and ) into "curly" quote HTML entities
Backticks-style quotes (``like this) into "curly" quote HTML entities

Dashes (-- and ---) into en- and em-dash entities

Three consecutive dots (...) into an ellipsis entity
SmartyPants does not modify characters within < pre >, < code >, < kbd >, < script >, or < math > tag blocks. Typically, these tags are used to display text where smart quotes and other "smart punctuation" would not be appropriate, such as source code or example markup.

typography($text[, $attributes])

Returns a string marked up with the proper HTML entities for proper typography.

For fine grain control over what gets converted, use the $attributes option. The default value is 3.

The following numeric values set a group of options:

0 : do nothing
1 : set all
2 : set all, using old school en- and em- dash shortcuts (-- and ---)
3 : set all, using inverted old school en- and em- dash shortcuts (--- and --)

For even finer control, specify a string of one or more of the following characters:

q : quotes
b : backtick quotes (``double only)
B : backtick quotes (``double and `single)
d : dashes
D : old school dashes
i : inverted old school dashes
e : ellipses
w : convert " entities to " for Dreamweaver users

Backslash Escapes

If you need to use literal straight quotes (or plain hyphens and periods), SmartyPants accepts the following backslash escape sequences to force non-smart punctuation. It does so by transforming the escape sequence into a decimal-encoded HTML entity:

Escape Value Character
------ ----- ---------
\
" " "

. . .
- - -
` ` `

This is useful, for example, when you want to use straight quotes as foot and inch marks: 62" tall; a 17" iMac.

Algorithmic Shortcomings

One situation in which quotes will get curled the wrong way is when apostrophes are used at the start of leading contractions. For example:

Twas the night before Christmas.

In the case above, SmartyPants will turn the apostrophe into an opening single-quote, when in fact it should be a closing one. I dont think this problem can be solved in the general case -- every word processor Ive tried gets this wrong as well. In such cases, its best to use the proper HTML entity for closing single-quotes (’) by hand.

Scorched 3D project is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth "The Mother Of All Games". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems.
You can pick up the game and begin playing very quickly. Then, when/if you are interested, you can poke in the dimmer recesses of the game and get into the strategy (or just ignore it altogether!).
At its lowest level, Scorched 3D is just an artillery game with two+ tanks taking turns to destroy opponents in an arena. Choose the angle, direction and power of each shot, launch your weapon, and try to blow up other tanks. Thats basically it.
But Scorched 3D can be a lot more complex than that, if you want it to be. You can earn money from successful battles and use it to invest in additional weapons and accessories. You can play with up to twenty four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans.
Theres a variety of changing environmental conditions and terrains to be dealt with. After the end of each round (which ends when everybody dies or theres only one person left), you get to buy stuff using the prize money you won from previous matches.

Winstone is a servlet container that was written out of a desire to provide servlet functionality. Winstone works without the bloat that full J2EE compliance introduces.
It is not intended to be a completely fully functional J2EE style servlet container (by this I mean supporting extraneous APIs unrelated to Servlets, such as JNDI, JavaMail, EJBs, etc) - this is left to Tomcat, Jetty, Resin, JRun, Weblogic et al.
Sometimes you want just a simple servlet container - without all the other junk - that just goes. This is where Winstone is best suited.
The short version (because the long version is way too politically incorrect) is as follows:
Winstone is the name of a rather large Jamaican man a friend of mine met one night, while he was out clubbing in the Roppongi area of Tokyo. He (my friend) was a little liquored up at the time, and when Winstone suggested they head to "this really cool club" he knew, he didnt think anything was wrong. It wasnt until Winstone led him down a dark stairwell and dropped his trousers that my friend clued in and ran like hell.
It was too good a story to let die, so I named this project Winstone so that said friend will continue to be reminded of it.
Main features:
- Supply fast, reliable servlet container functionality for a single webapp per server
- Keep the size of the core distribution jar as low as possible (currently 160KB)
- Keep configuration files to an absolute minimum, using command line options to optionally override sensible compiled in defaults.
- Eventually compile with GCJ to make a 3-4Meg windows exe for local development/deployment of servlets. This has not happened yet, because of some GCJ class loading problems.
- Optionally support JSP compilation using Apaches Jasper.
Usage:
If you want to build from source code, you will need to download and install Apache Maven. The following instructions assume you have already installed Maven and have the maven shell script in your path (to get Maven, see http://maven.apache.org/).
To build Winstone, unpack the tree:
tar zxf winstone-src-0.8.tar.gz
Then build it:
cd winstone
maven clean jar
The winstone.jar file will be in the target directory after the build is complete.
To run it:
java -jar target/winstone-0.8.jar --webroot= (+ other options)
- OR -
java -jar target/winstone-0.8.jar --warfile= (+ other options)
- OR -
java -jar target/winstone-0.8.jar --webappsDir= (+ other options)
- OR -
java -jar target/winstone-0.8.jar --hostsDir= (+ other options)

Roadnav is an in-car navigation system that can run on a variety of operating systems like Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
Roadnav can obtain a cars present location from a GPS unit, plot street maps of the area, and provide verbal turn by turn directions to any location in the USA.
Roadnav uses the free TIGER/Line files from the US Census Bureau to build the maps, along with the GNIS state and topical gazetteer data from the USGS to identify locations.
Main features:
- Generates street level maps for the US
- Interfaces with GPS units to display your position in real time
- Verbal turn by turn directions to any place in the US. Automatically recomputes directions if you miss a turn.
- On screen keyboard
- 3D (drivers perspective) view mode
- Daytime and nighttime color schemes
- Automatic day/night mode switching
- Plots nearby landmarks and points of interest
- Can operate offline (without an Internet connection)
- Antialiased output
- Supports multiple operating systems including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X
- Uses freely available data from the US Census Bureau and the USGS

Danger from the deep (aka dangerdeep) is a Free / Open Source World War II german submarine simulation.
It is currently available for Linux/i386 and Windows, but since it uses SDL/OpenGL it should be portable to other operating systems or platforms. (If anyone whishes to port it, please contact us.)
This game is planned as tactical simulation and will be as realistic as our time and knowledge of physics allows. Its current state is ALPHA, but it is playable.
If anyone wants to contribute in development, youre welcome, just email the dangerdeep-devel mailing list. Contributing binary packages for various Linux distributions would also be much appreciated.
To get help with the game you should visit our public forum.
The game has support for multiple languages but currently only English, Italian and German are implemented. It is written in C++ with the use of the STL.
Danger from the Deep is released under the GNU General Public License. The project is hosted on SourceForge, a great supporter of the Open Source community.
Main features:
- simple main menu
- user interface (some items missing)
- basic world simulation, night and day
- realistic water and cloud simulation
