NAME Text::Format::Interview - Take a text interview transcript and format to html. VERSION Version 0.01 SYNOPSIS use Text::Format::Interview; my $txt = Text::Format::Interview->new(); my $html = $txt->process($string); Converts text of the form: # Interview between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, 3rd April, 2000 BC Fred: [00:00:00] So, Barney, when did you decide to become a Flintstone? Barney: [00:00:10] Well Fred, I'm not actually a Flintstone, my surname is Rubble and I live in Bedrock. Into HTML, something like: # Interview between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, 3rd April, 2000 BC <h2>Fred: [00:00:00]</h2> <p>So, Barney, when did you decide to become a Flintstone?</p> This is intended as a pre-processor, so the header is using markdown here, but could equally be html. Alternatively if you specify a comma separated list of "interviewers" and "interviewees" at the top of the file to be processed, you'll get some css classes as well: # Interview between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, 3rd April, 2000 BC interviewer: fred,wilma interviewee: barney,betty Fred: [00:00:00] So what's it like to be a flintstone? Barney: [00:00:05] I'm not a Flintstone, I'm a Rubble. What do you think Betty? Betty: [00:00:10] Yes Fred, you're confused. Wilma: [00:00:15] I'm so terribly embarrassed by my husband. Which ought to render to: # Interview between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, 3rd April, 2000 BC <p>interviewer: fred, wilma <br> interviewee: barney, betty <br></p> <h2 class="interviewer">Fred: [00:00:00]</h2> <p>So what's it like to be a flintstone?</p> <h2 class="interviewee">Barney: [00:00:05]</p> <p>I'm not a Flintstone, I'm a Rubble. What do you think Betty?</p> This gives us the ability to put pretty colours in the interview transcript with CSS, something like this: h2.interviewer > p { color: red } (or something far more tortorous if you need to Internet Explorer 6 support ...) FUNCTIONS process Takes the text, and spits out the html.
