Pointtools

These tools are scripts and ways to present point files. They are pre‐ formatted text files presented in catpoint(1). In /bin is a script to easily convert markdown files to point files.

See the examples/hello directory for how to use it in real life:

% git clone git://git.2f30.org/catpoint
% cd catpoint
% make
% cp catpoint $HOME/bin
% cp ../bin/* $HOME/bin
% cd ../examples/hello
% cat hello.md | md2point
% catpoint *.txt

There are not many formatting options for now, but it’s enough for daily usage. If you need any graph or formatting, use troff(1) and all the formatting available there.

Have fun!
