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

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

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

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 implements the functionality to generate text, XML, JSON, and HTML output using a common set of function calls. The caller decides at run time which output style should be produced. Afterwards, the caller calls the function xo_emit to produce output in a format described using a format string.

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

C library for creating and parsing configuration files.

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.

odt2txt is a command-line tool which extracts the text out of OpenDocument Texts, as produced by OpenOffice.org, KOffice, StarOffice and others.

odt2txt can also extract text from some file formats similar to OpenDocument Text, such as OpenOffice.org XML (*.sxw), which was used by OpenOffice.org version 1.x and older StarOffice versions. To a lesser extent, odt2txt may be useful to extract content from OpenDocument spreadsheets (*.ods) and OpenDocument presentations (*.odp).

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.

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.

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.

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.

aha (Ansi Html Adapter) converts ANSI escape sequences of a Unix terminal to HTML code.

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

csvdiff is a diff tool to compute changes between two CSV files. It can compare CSV files with a million records in under 2 seconds. It is specifically suited for comparing CSV files dumped from database tables. GNU Diff is orders of magnitude faster for comparing line by line. csvdiff supports

• Selective comparison of fields in a row

• Specifying group of columns as primary-key to uniquely identify a row

• Ignoring columns

• Several output formats including colored git style output or JSON for post-processing

GoAWK is a POSIX-compatible version of AWK that also has a CSV mode for reading and writing CSV and TSV files.

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.)

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.

catdoc extracts text from MS-Word files, trying to preserve as many special printable characters as possible. It supports everything up to Word-97. Also supported are MS Write documents and RTF files.

catdoc does not preserve complex word formatting, but it can translate some non-ASCII characters into TeX escape codes. It's goal is to extract plain text and allow you to read it and, probably, reformat with TeX, according to TeXnical rules.

This package also provides xls2csv, which extracts data from Excel spreadsheets and outputs it in comma-separated-value format, and catppt, which extracts data from PowerPoint presentations.

This package transforms JSON into discrete assignments to make it easier to use line-based tools such as grep to search for what you want and see the absolute "path" to it.

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

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