utf-8-lineseparator provides a tool to efficiently check text files for valid UTF-8 use and to report which line endings they use.

pfff is a tool for calculating a compact digital fingerprint of a file by sampling randomly from the file instead of reading it in full. Consequently, the computation has a flat performance characteristic, correlated with data variation rather than file size. pfff can be as reliable as existing hashing techniques, with provably negligible risk of collisions.

ack is a tool for finding text inside files. It is designed for hackers and programmers by being fast, ignoring VCS directories, letting a user easily specify file types, match highlighting, Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions, and being faster to type than grep.

Nkf is yet another kanji code converter among networks, hosts and terminals. It converts input kanji code to designated kanji code such as ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP, UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.

pandoc-include extends Pandoc to support:

1. include as raw blocks

2. indent and dedent included contents

3. partial include

4. code include

5. Unix style pathname

6. recursive include

7. Yaml header merging

8. header include

Enca (Extremely Naive Charset Analyser) consists of libenca, an encoding detection library, and enca, a command line frontend, integrating libenca and several charset conversion libraries and tools.

dos2unix is a tool to convert line breaks in a text file from Unix format to DOS format and vice versa.

This package provides the tldr command allowing users to view tldr pages from a shell. The tldr pages are a community effort to simplify the man pages with practical examples described in https://tldr.sh/.

utf8proc is a small C library that provides Unicode normalization, case-folding, and other operations for data in the UTF-8 encoding.

Antiword is an application for displaying Microsoft Word documents. It can also convert the document to PostScript or XML. Only documents made by MS Word version 2 and version 6 or later are supported. The name comes from: "The antidote against people who send Microsoft Word files to everybody, because they believe that everybody runs Windows and therefore runs Word".

utf8proc is a small C library that provides Unicode normalization, case-folding, and other operations for data in the UTF-8 encoding.

Oniguruma is a regular expressions library. The special characteristic of this library is that different character encoding for every regular expression object can be specified.

cobib is a command-line based bibliography management tool. It uses a plain-text database, a location-independent library, and features git integration, command-line support, and a curses-based TUI.

html2text is a command line utility that converts HTML documents into plain text.

txt2tags is a document generator. It reads a text file with minimal markup and converts it to multiple formats.

AutoComplete is a library allowing you to add IDE-like auto-completion (aka "code completion" or "Intellisense") to any Swing JTextComponent. Special integration is added for RSyntaxTextArea, since this feature is commonly needed when editing source code. Features include: Drop-down completion choice list. Optional companion "description" window, complete with full HTML support and navigable with hyperlinks. Optional parameter completion assistance for functions and methods, ala Eclipse and NetBeans. Completion information is typically specified in an XML file, but can even be dynamic.

libconfuse is a configuration file parser library. It supports sections and (lists of) values (strings, integers, floats, booleans or other sections), as well as some other features (such as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion, functions and nested include statements).

Open Chinese Convert (OpenCC) converts between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, supporting character-level conversion, phrase-level conversion, variant conversion, and regional idioms among Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong-Kong.

UTF8-CPP is a C++ library for handling UTF-8 encoded text in a portable way.

libgtextutils is a text utilities library used by the fastx toolkit from the Hannon Lab.

Libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration files. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string parsing in application code.

This package provides converters for various bibliography formats (e.g. Bibtex, RIS, etc.) using a common XML intermediate.

dbacl is a fast Bayesian text and email classifier. It builds a variety of language models using maximum entropy (minimum divergence) principles, and these can then be used to categorize input data automatically among multiple categories.

The two programs are useful for generating test data, for inspecting binary files, and for interfacing programs that generate textual output to programs that require binary input and conversely. They can also be useful when it is desired to reformat numbers.

• ascii2binary reads input consisting of ascii or hexadecimal representation numbers separated by whitespace and produces as output the binary equivalents. The type and precision of the binary output is selected using command line flags.

• binary2ascii reads input consisting of binary numbers and converts them to their ascii or hexadecimal representation. Command line flags specify the type and size of the binary numbers and provide control over the format of the output. Unsigned integers may be written out in binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal.

  Signed integers may be written out only in binary or decimal. Floating point numbers may be written out only decimal, either in standard or scientific notation. (If you want to examine the binary representation of floating point numbers, just treat the input as a sequence of unsigned characters.)
