Locale::Po4a::Text - convert text documents from/to PO files

PRISKRIBO

La po4a (PO por io ajn) projektocelo estas faciligi tradukojn (kaj pli interese, la prizorgadon de tradukoj) uzante gettext-ilojn pri areoj, kie ili ne estis atendataj kiel dokumentado.

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:

keyvalue

Treat paragraphs that look like a colon-separated key-value pair as verbatim (with the "no-wrap" flag in the PO file). A key-value pair string is a string like "key: value", containing one or more non-colon and non-space characters followed by a colon followed by at least one non-space character before the end of the line.

nobullets

Deactivate the 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). Instead, the corresponding paragraph is rewrapped 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 information.

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.

yfm_keys (markdown-only)

Comma-separated list of keys to process for translation in the YAML Front Matter section. All other keys are skipped. Keys are matched with a case-sensitive match. If yfm_paths and yfm_keys are used together, values are included if they are matched by at least one of the options. Array values are always translated, unless the yfm_skip_array option is provided.

yfm_lenient (markdown only)

Allow the YAML Front Matter parser to fail on malformated headers. This is particularly helpful when your file starts with a horizontal ruler instead of a YAML Front Matter, but you insist on using three dashes only for your ruler.

yfm_paths (markdown only)

yfm_paths

Comma-separated list of hash paths to process for extraction in the YAML Front Matter section, all other paths are skipped. Paths are matched with a case-sensitive match. If yfm_paths and yfm_keys are used together, values are included if they are matched by at least one of the options. Arrays values are always returned unless the yfm_skip_array option is provided.

yfm_skip_array (markdown-only)

Do not translate array values in the YAML Front Matter section.

control[=field_list]

Handle Debian's control files. A comma-separated list of fields to be translated can be provided.

neverwrap

Prevent po4a from wrapping any lines. This means that every content is handled verbatim, even simple paragraphs.

STATUS OF THIS MODULE

Tested successfully on simple text files and NEWS.Debian files.
