This repo is no longer maintained as stand-alone tool / library. It has been merged into https://github.com/ultrasaurus/altwebgen for use as an internal module since it seems to benefit from tight integration with UI.
Creates HTML spans for each word in a text string
If there is a file with same root name as the given inpute text file with extension ".timestamp.json" to provide wrd-level timestamp data, then each span is annotated with start/end time attribute(s).
TODO:
- figure out what attributes are needed
- audio: start time, duration
- text: is word index useful? or just character index + word length?
- flag to turn on/off debug attribute
- use trace level logging and supress debug output by default
install binary command-line tool locally:
cargo install --path .
Sample commands
words --help
words -i testdata/hypertext.txt
cargo run - uses default text "Hello world!"
expected output:
<span word='0' char='0'>Hello</span> <span word='1' char='6'>world</span>!
