NAME

       a2crd - attempts the conversion of lyrics file into chordii input

SYNOPSIS

       a2crd [ options...] [ filename... ]

DESCRIPTION

       a2crd  reads  the  lyrics of one songs from a file, and attempts to produce a output suitable for chordii.  Chord names can appear above or
       below the lyrics.  a2crd will embed those names into the lyrics.

       The FAQ list of alt.guitar documents the way a ascii file should look, but this format is not recognized by everyone,  or  fully  enforced.
       Thus,  it  is impossible to modify chordii itself to read *any* type of ascii input and produce good result.  a2crd tries its best to to do
       the tedious conversion job.

       a2crd attempts to recognize mail/news headers, and comments them out.  It preserves as is any line starting with a '{', which  would  indi-
       cates a chordii command. It also preserves any lines starting with a '#'.

       a2crd prepends to the output the content of a file called $HOME/.a2crdsig, if it exists.

       The first line that is not a comment is assumed to be the title of the song. The nest lines until a blank one are assumed to be sub-titles.

OPTIONS

       -r ratio
	       Sets  the  threshold  for chordii line recognition. a2crd looks at every line. If the ratio ( space_characters / (non-space_charac-
	       ters) is greater than ratio, the line will be recognized as a chordii line, and its content will be merge with the  next  available
	       text line. The ratio has a initial value of 1. It is defined as a floating precision value.

       -D      Prints debugging information. For programmers only.

       -o filename
	       Sends output to filename

NAME

       kateenc - create Kate streams from text input

SYNOPSIS

       kateenc [-hVM] [-o outfile] [-l language] [-c category] [-s serial] [-C tag=value] [-R threshold] [-K threshold] -t filetype [ infile ]

DESCRIPTION

       kateenc creates Kate streams from input files (SubRip SRT subtitles, LRC lyrics, and libkate's custom description language).  When saved to
       an Ogg stream (the default behavior), a Kate stream may then be merged with other Ogg streams (eg, a Theora video) using the oggz tools.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show command line help.

       -V     Show version information.

       -M     Allow simple HTML-like markup in SRT files. If this parameter is used, strings such as "<i>" will be interpreted	to  mean  italics,
	      rather than appear as such. Note that various players interpret a slightly different set of HTML tags, and some do not.

       -o outfile
	      Write the output Kate stream to the given file name (writes to stdout if not specified).

       -l language
	      Sets the language for the stream (default is the language specified in the input, or none).

       -c category
	      Sets the category for the stream (default is the category specified in the input, or none).

       -s serial
	      Sets the serial number for the output Kate stream (does not apply to raw streams).

       -C tag=value
	      Adds  a comment to encode into the output Kate stream. The comment must be of the form tag=value, and comply with the Vorbis comment
	      rules (eg, tag is composed of a particular subset of ASCII characters, and value is valid UTF-8). Note that you might have to escape
	      or quote the comment for it to be seen as a single command line parameter.

       -t filetype
	      Specifies the type of the input (srt, lrc, kate)

       -R threshold
	      Use repeat packets, with the given threshold (in seconds).  Data packets will be repeated at intervals of roughly threshold seconds,
	      while active.

       -K threshold
	      Use keepalive packets, with the given threshold (in seconds).  Keepalive packets will be emitted when no other packet has been emit-
	      ted for roughly threshold seconds.

EXAMPLES

       Create a Kate stream for Welsh subtitles from a SubRip file:

	   kateenc -t srt -l cy -c SUB -o output.ogg input.srt
