NAME

       aewan - An ascii-art editor

SYNOPSIS

       aewan [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       Aewan is a multi-layered ascii-art/animation editor that produces both stand-alone cat-able art files and an easy-to-parse format for inte-
       gration in your terminal applications (for information about the file format, see the aewan(5) manpage).

       If you invoke the program without a command-line argument, it will open an untitled document for you to edit. If you supply an argument, it
       must be the name of an aewan file you wish to open. That file must exist, or an error will occur.

NAME

       aecat - display an aewan document

SYNOPSIS

       aecat [-b] [-c] [-{n|N}] [{-p | -l <layer_num>}] [-f <format>] [-o <output_file>] inputfile

DESCRIPTION

       This  is an utility program that will convert an aewan document to ANSI escape sequences so that it can be rendered on a standard terminal.
       Alternatively, it can also generate HTML code for displaying the document in a web page. Any particular layer of the document may  be  con-
       verted, or you may request a composite of all layers.

OPTIONS

       -f     specifies output format - can "text", "html" or "comment". Default is "text".  The "comment" format extracts document metadata.

       -c     prepend a 'clear screen' escape sequence (only valid when outputting text).

       -o<file>
	      writes output to specified file rather than stdout

       -b     disables output of color (only characters will be printed).

       -l<layer_no>
	      specifies which layer of the document is to be used (must be an index, not a layer name). By default, layer 0 will be used.

       -L     displays the number of layers in the file.

       -p     exports  a  composite,  that is, overlays all visible layers, paying attention to layer transparency, etc. The size of the composite
	      will be the size of the first layer

       -n     suppress output of newlines

       -h     prints a short help text
