A number of popular websites (eg twitter) do not allow the use of HTML to create bold/italic font effects or perform smily transformations
However we can simulate this with some clever transformations of plain ascii text into UTF8 codes which are a different font and so effectively create the same effect.
We have transformations for flip (reverses the string and flips upside down, bold, italic, bubbles,script and leet.
We can only transform A-Z a-z 0-9 and ? ! ,
I have only implemented a small set of smilies, ones that I am likely to use.
- flip <f>text</f> upside down and reversed
- bold <b>text</b>
- italic <i>text</i>
- bubbles <o>text</o>
- script <s>text</s>
- leet <l>text</l> LeetSpeak
use the included script bin/utftx to convert your text
