NAME
po4a-normalize - normalize a documentation file by parsing it in po4a, and writing it back
SYNOPSIS
po4a-normalize -f fmt master.doc
DESCRIPTION
The po4a (
PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more
interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on
areas where they were not expected like documentation.
The po4a-normalize script is a debugging tool used to make sure that
po4a don't change the document when it's not supposed to. Only use it if
you're developing a new module, or if you doubt the sanity of the tools.
The generated document will be written to po4a-normalize.output while the
generated PO file will be written to po4a-normalize.po. No way to change
that ;)
