Octopus

A pharo tool that utilises Pillar library to process pillar text copied to the clipboard and convert it to HTML

Instalation

Just open a pharo Playground and do the following command

Metacello new baseline: 'Octopus' ; repository: 'github://kilon/Octopus:master';load.

Bare in mind that Octopus downloads and install latest development version of Pillar, so it may take some time.

How to use

Just issue the start command to start Octopus

Octopus start

stop it with

Octopus stop

and check that is running with

Octopus isRunning print

The steps are easy

  1. Start Octopus
  2. copy/cut pillar syntax from any place, editor , whatever you want after you add 'pillar' at the top of it, so Octopus knows you want to do the conversion and its not just a regular copy/cut paste
  3. when you paste it will paste back the converted pillar to html
  4. Profit !!!

Why to use

You can use Octopus for any kind of easy generation of html code :)

I am using it for making my own website and blog. Make sure you save your pillar to a text file so you can always go back to it and do changes.
