New tool - Helpfile Converter
Submitted by talvo on Fri, 2007-12-28 04:18.
Whenever I release code, I always make the help-files suitable for a hardcoded help/+help command added through mush.cnf. Lately, though, I've had several people ask me for copies of them suitable for a softcoded +help system, so I've written a little tool for converting them. You can use it for any helpfile - I've lightly tested it with a few off my site, and a couple out of the PennMUSH distro.
Hope it's some use to someone. If anyone finds any problems with it, please let me know. You can find it at http://www.talvo.com/mush-helpfiles.php (it's web-based, so nothing to download)

Updated
Updated a little to add the 'intelligent' mode which tries to put hard-wrapped lines of text back into a single line, and to add options for ignoring empty lines. Also added another little tool for escaping text with special characters in, for pasting into a MUSH (a la decompose(), but can handle text with several lines).
