htag(1)

htag1

Add taglines and sigs to email, news and fidonet messages.

Usage

htag.pl [-t tagfile -c cfgfile] -m msgfile

htag.pl -f sigfile

htag.pl -h

Overview

htag.pl is a sigmonster. It is designed to be extendable in many different ways through its use of plugins. It might be getting a little bit too sentient in its old age though.

It can be used like this:

htag.pl -m $1

$EDITOR $1

For information on configuration see the sample.htrc file

To create signature files, it is tedious to have to work out what will and won't line up. This is why the -f option exists. Feed it a sigfile and it will replace the @[0-9]+[RC]?@ bits with required number of spaces so you can see if you got it right or not. (You could even run it from your favourite editor e.g. ":! htag.pl -f %" for vim on the current file.)

Inserting a tagline containing "@[0-9]+[RC]?@" has interesting results.
