Contra 1 specification

DESCRIPTION

The Contra utility converts the "C Style Markup Language" to HTML/XML and vice versa. The primary aim is to maximize both editability and readability by dynamizing the markup representation.

SYNOPSIS

Contra [ OPTIONS ] FILES+

OPTIONS

c: the input is to be force interpeted as CSML
x: the input is to be force interpeted as XML/HTML
s <string>: colon separeted list of option sets
S <string>: colon separeted list of special asymetric tags starters
i <string>: colon separeted list of tags which contents should be ignored
o <file>: specify output file name for the NEXT file

Translation

Contra translates both ways in a single step, from top to bottom, perserving formatting.

Example

<!-- DOCTYPE HTML -->
<html>
	<head>
	</head>
	<body>
		<hr/>
		<div class='myclass'>
			lorem ipsum
		</div>
	</body>
</html>

and

// DOCTYPE HTML 
html {
	head {
	}
	body {
		hr;
		div (class: myclass) {
			lorem ipsum
		}
	}
}

are different sides of the same coin.
