Implement some options
We need a little more control over the options. Here are the ones I intend to add:-
Remove HTML
At the moment, HTML tags in the TODO are automatically made impotent by swapping all & characters to "&" and all < characters to "<", their HTML symbol codes. This will probably need to be extended to include HTML comments, but we will also need to be able to turn this off, with "--nostriphtml" for example. -
Formatting options
These have been moved to a major item, below. -
Title
Something like "--title=" -
Remove title completely if not --title= option is used
Rather than add a default or have and empty <TITLE> section -
Body only
Rather than always prodece complete HTML pages, it might be useful to be able to be able to produce only HTML that would go inside of the <BODY> tags. Good for automagically generated pages. -
Heading
Like title, but inserts a H1 tag at the top. --heading=jhsdjk -
Key
An option like "--showkey" that shows what colours mean.
-
Remove HTML
-
Formatting options
-
Style sheet inclusion
"--cssinsert=" to insert the style info from a given file, and -
Style sheet linking
"--csslink=" to point to an external css file.
-
Style sheet inclusion
-
Provide some feedback on completed items
Ideally, we want some way to show completed items. Probably just make the first word in the heading "DONE!". Also should work for subitems.-
Basic highlighting
Just colors done things green and pending things red -
Advanced Highlighting
Instead of having to mark all subitems done, as well as the top level item, marking the top level item should mark the subitems too. -
Auto-off
If a stylesheet is provided, this should not provide it's own style. -
Tag stripping
An option should be provided for stripping DONE! tags from the final html document.
-
Basic highlighting
-
Allow exclusion of done/pending items
-
Exclude done items
Most useful. -
Exclude pending items
Not so useful, but worth having
-
Exclude done items
-
Write useful docs
-
Proper useage message
-
Explanation of the format of the file
-
Man page.
-
Proper useage message
-
Write in some proper checks for the interpreter version.
Some things don't work properly in older versions of python. Need to make these work, rather than cutting out.-
True and false are not found in versions before 2.2.1
This can be sorted easily, by setting True=1, False=2 in specific versions. -
file("filename",options) isn't in 2.1.3
This might be a problem for other versions, open() doesn't work in quite the same way.
-
True and false are not found in versions before 2.2.1
-
Make generated HTML pass the w3.org validators
This make sense really.-
DOCTYPE
Easy enough -
content-type
I need to look into this first. -
meta tag "generator"
This isn't necessary to pass, but is probably a good idea.

Advanced features
There are things that people generally put in TODO files that we could also support.-

Some things need to be refactored-
(8/10/03)
Processing of first and seconf level items
Shares a lot of code, but it's written twice. Refactor this.

Processing of first and seconf level items
Key:
Pending major/top level item
Completed major/top level item
Pending minor/sub-item
