627	formatting of NEWS file	kpreid	somebody	"I was reading http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/browser/NEWS to learn about Tahoe 1.3.0, and I read down to ""* Release 1.1.0 (2008-06-11)"" before noticing that I had reached the end of the 1.3.0 section.

I suggest that the publicly-anounced version of NEWS should be reformatted to convert the *-outline into headings, say in a HTML document.

Here's a quick hack to perform that conversion:

{{{
perl -wne '
  BEGIN { print ""<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN\"" \""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd\""><html>"" }
  s/&/&amp;/g; 
  s/</&lt;/g; 
  if (/^(.*?)\s*-\*-.*?-\*-$/) { print ""<title>$1</title><pre>"" } 
  elsif (/^(\*+) (.+)$/) { my $l = length $1; print ""</pre><h$l>$2</h$l><pre>"" } 
  else { print }
  END { print ""</pre></html>"" }
' NEWS > NEWS.html; open NEWS.html
