aecat (Aewan Ascii Art Editor)
  • 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 converted, or you may request a composite of all layers.
  • OPTIONS
      -f
      specifies output format - either "text" or "html". Default is "text".
      -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.
      -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 when the width of the terminal is equal to the width of the output (this makes it look right because the cursor will advance to the next line automatically, making the newline superfluous (only valid when outputting text).
      -N
      suppress output of newlines no matter what (only valid when outputting text).
      -h
      prints a short help text
