NAME

6       po4a-normalize - normalize a documentation file by parsing it in po4a,
7       and writing it back
8

SYNOPSIS

10       po4a-normalize -f fmt master.doc
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
14       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
15       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.
16
17       The po4a-normalize script is a debugging tool used to make sure that
18       po4a don't change the document when it's not supposed to. Only use it
19       if you're developing a new module, or if you doubt the sanity of the
20       tools.
21
22       The generated document will be written to po4a-normalize.output while
23       the generated PO file will be written to po4a-normalize.po. No way to
24       change that ;)

OPTIONS

27       -o, --option
28           Extra option(s) to pass to the format plugin. Specify each option
29           in the 'name=value' format. See the documentation of each plugin
30           for more information about the valid options and their meanings.
31
32       -b, --blank
33           Create an blank translated document.  The generated translated
34           document will be generated assuming all messages are translated by
35           a space or new line.
36
37           This is useful to check what parts of the document cannot be
38           translated.
39
40       -h, --help
41           Show a short help message.
42
43       --help-format
44           List the documentation formats understood by po4a.
45
46       -f, --format
47           Format of the documentation you want to handle. Use the
48           --help-format option to see the list of available formats.
49
50       -M, --master-charset
51           Charset of the file containing the document to translate.
52
53       -V, --version
54           Display the version of the script and exit.
