Free text box software for linux

conTEXT is an amaroK script that looks for text or html files in the playing directory and inserts them in a new manageable box into the context browser.
I hope you dont expect too much of a script thats named almost like a tab in amaroK but there already are some ideas to extend its functionality...
Usage:
Scrolling: Left-click an arrow to speed up. Right-click to jump a page up/down. You can also use standard konqueror controls: Shift+ArrowKeys for scrolling, Alt+Mousewheel for horizontal scrolling, Ctrl+Mousewheel for zooming.
Drag the lower box border to resize the box, drag the box header to change its position.
Enhancements:
- fixed fast scrolling for new khtml versions; fixed playlouder.com; fixed rollingstone display; fixed plattentests.de referenzen

Text::Quote contains quotes strings as required for perl to eval them back correctly.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Quote;

my @quotes=map{$quoter->quote($_,indent=>6,col_width=>60)}(
"The time has come"
the walrus said,
"to speak of many things..."
," 123456abtn13fr16172021222324252627303132e34353637",
("6abtn13fr32e34" x 5),2/3,10,00);
for my $i (1..@quotes) {
print "$var$i=".$quotes[$i-1].";n";
}
Would produce:
$var1=qq"The time has come"ntthetwalrus said,nt"to speak of man.
qqy things...";
$var2=" 123456abtn13fr16172021222324252627".

PSPL Multi Select Box is an enhanced implementation of the HTML form input element for selecting multiple items from a list.

Users can select multiple choices without having to press the ALT button like a normal "select multiple" box. It is easy to customize, and you can easily modify the visual style of PSPL Multi Select Box to match your Web site design or theme.

The project is also compliant to W3C standards, and has been tested with most recent browsers. Unlike normal "select multiple" boxes, PSPL Multi Select Box follows the layer design in IE.

Text::vFile::toXML can convert vFiles into equivalent XML.

SYNOPSIS

This module converts iCalendar (iCal : generically, vFile) files into their (equivalent) XML (xCalendar / xCal) representation, according to Royers IETF Draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-royer-calsch-xcal-03).

# Enable functional interface
use Text::vFile::toXML qw(to_xml);

# Input filename
my $arg = "input.file";
my $a = Text::vFile::toXML->new(filename => $arg)->to_xml;
my $b = Text::vFile::toXML->new(filehandle =>
do { open my $fh, $arg or die "cant open ics: $!"; $fh }
)->to_xml;

use Text::vFile::asData; # to make the functional example work
my $data =
Text::vFile::asData->new->parse(
do {
open my $fh, $arg
or die "Cant open vFile: $!"; $fh
}
);
my $c = Text::vFile::toXML->new(data => $data)->to_xml;

# Use functional interface
my $d = to_xml($data);

# Now ($a, $b, $c, $d) all contain the same XML string.

Text::Templar is a document-generation object class.

SYNOPSIS

< body >

< % METHOD body % >

< address >
< % METHOD footer % >
< /address >

< /body >

EOF

my $templateObject = new Text::Templar
[ $template ];

$templateObject->title( "The Rest of the Story" );
$templateObject->body( @content );
$templateObject->footer( "Page 1" );

print $templateObject->render;

OST-Box is (yet another) set-top box program. OST-Boxs goal is to give an easy access to all kind of media and to be easy to extend.
It has an open design : The program itself is mainly a xml/javascript browser. Also, most content is provided via small perl scripts, which are easier to tune to your needs.
Xml introduce a distinction between the interface and the code.
Javascript is a powerfull language when it comes to write lots of simple functionnality.
Perl is very usefull to gather all kind of information (MP3 titles, TV program, detect system configuration, meteo, ...)
Main features:
- Browsing photo collection, with thumbs, zoom, rotations
- Play video clip within your photo collection (with mplayer installed)
- Browsing videos recorded from TV and start them with mplayer...
- Control from a lirc remote is working. Youll have to adjust interface/map.xml to configure your remote key.
- OST-box has multiple language support. Currently, english and french are available.
- It should be easy to add a new language. Have a look into src/interface/ostbox-i18n.xml if you want to help !
