It doesn't like the DOS +style CR/LF line breaks, so the input file should be first run through a +conversion program such as dos2unix if it contains such characters. +makeztxt will remove newline characters at the end of lines that contain +text so that the paragraphs flow better on the Palm screen. + + The best feature of makeztxt, however, is its ability to use regular +expressions to search the input text for bookmark spots. This is done +with the command line options -l and -r: + + -l will list all the bookmarks that are generated. + -r takes a regex as an argument to generate one or more + bookmarks. You can have as many -r options as you want. |
