XML From Plain Text (xfpt) is a program that reads a file of plain text that contains relatively simple markup, and outputs an XML file. It is intended to simplify the management of XML data.
The project is not a program that attempts to turn a plain text document into XML. Markup within text is introduced by ampersand characters, but is otherwise "soft". You can define what follows the ampersand, for example, &" to generate a "quote" element. There is also a macro facility that allows for higher level concepts such as chapters, displays, tables, etc.
Enhancements:
- The macro library has been extended to include preface, appendix, colophon, footnote, figure, and table.
- The program has one new directive to enable it to handle "nested" sections such as footnotes.

GD::Text is a Perl module with text utilities for use with GD.

SYNOPSIS

use GD;
use GD::Text;

my $gd_text = GD::Text->new() or die GD::Text::error();
$gd_text->set_font(funny.ttf, 12) or die $gd_text->error;
$gd_text->set_font(gdTinyFont);
$gd_text->set_font(GD::Font::Tiny);
...
$gd_text->set_text($string);
my ($w, $h) = $gd_text->get(width, height);

if ($gd_text->is_ttf)
{
...
}
Or alternatively
my $gd_text = GD::Text->new(
text => Some text,
font => funny.ttf,
ptsize => 14,
);

This module provides a font-independent way of dealing with text in GD, for use with the GD::Text::* modules and GD::Graph.

Prima::TextView is a rich text browser widget.

Prima::TextView accepts blocks of formatted text, and provides basic functionality - scrolling and user selection. The text strings are stored as one large text chunk, available by the ::text and ::textRef properties. A block of a formatted text is an array with fixed-length header and the following instructions.

A special package tb:: provides the block constants and simple functions for text block access.

Capabilities

Prima::TextView is mainly the text block functions and helpers. It provides function for wrapping text block, calculating block dimensions, drawing and converting coordinates from (X,Y) to a block position. Prima::TextView is centered around the text functionality, and although any custom graphic of arbitrary complexity can be embedded in a text block, the internal coordinate system is used ( TEXT_OFFSET, BLOCK ), where TEXT_OFFSET is a text offset from the beginning of a block and BLOCK is an index of a block.

The functionality does not imply any text layout - this is up to the class descendants, they must provide they own layout policy. The only policy Prima::TextView requires is that blocks BLK_TEXT_OFFSET field must be strictly increasing, and the block text chunks must not overlap. The text gaps are allowed though.

A text block basic drawing function includes change of color, backColor and font, and the painting of text strings. Other types of graphics can be achieved by supplying custom code.

WebService::GoogleHack::Text is a Perl module that implements some basic text processing such as parsing data etc.

SYNOPSIS
use WebService::GoogleHack::Text;

#create an object of type Text

my $text = GoogleHack::Text->new();

# returns an hash words

%results=$text->getWords("file location");

# returns an hash of 3 word sentences

%results=$text->getSentences("file location", 3);

# this function reads the configuration file

%results=$text->readConfig("location of configuration file");

#removes HTML tags

%results=$text->removeHTML("string");

This is a simple Text processing package which aids GoogleHack and Rate modules. Given a file of words, it retreives the words in the file and stores it in a simple hash format. In addition, given a file of text, it can also form n word sentences.

Edit by Text Editors allows you to open a file with Kate, Kwrite, Kedit, Khexedit by a KDE service menu.

To install the service menu you must copy editby.desktop in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

XML::DOM::Text is a piece of XML text in XML::DOM.

XML::DOM::Text extends XML::DOM::CharacterData, which extends XML::DOM::Node.

The Text interface represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of an Element or Attr. If there is no markup inside an elements content, the text is contained in a single object implementing the Text interface that is the only child of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed into a list of elements and Text nodes that form the list of children of the element.

When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only one Text node for each block of text. Users may create adjacent Text nodes that represent the contents of a given element without any intervening markup, but should be aware that there is no way to represent the separations between these nodes in XML or HTML, so they will not (in general) persist between DOM editing sessions. The normalize() method on Element merges any such adjacent Text objects into a single node for each block of text; this is recommended before employing operations that depend on a particular document structure, such as navigation with XPointers.

METHODS

splitText (offset)

Breaks this Text node into two Text nodes at the specified offset, keeping both in the tree as siblings. This node then only contains all the content up to the offset point. And a new Text node, which is inserted as the next sibling of this node, contains all the content at and after the offset point.

Parameters: offset The offset at which to split, starting from 0.

Return Value: The new Text node.

DOMExceptions:

INDEX_SIZE_ERR

Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR

Raised if this node is readonly.

Pastebot is an irc bot that saves channels from large amounts of pasted material. Text is pasted into a web form, and the bot announces an URL where it can be read. Interested people can partake in the joy without the whole channel scrolling to hell.

You can install program with following commands:

make install-cpan
make install

The default installation structure:

/usr/local/etc/pastebot/ Configuration files
/usr/local/share/pastebot Libraries
/usr/local/bin Executables
