allows to convert ascii to unicode specials including bold italic greek fraktur script
Project description
This script allows to convert ascii to unicode specials including bold italic greek fraktur script.
Examples:
unicoder.py bold foobar
unicoder.py ital foobar
unicoder.py boldital foobar
unicoder.py double foobar
unicoder.py mono foobar
unicoder.py sans foobar
unicoder.py greek foobar
unicoder.py greek FOOBAR
unicoder.py fraktur foobar
unicoder.py boldfraktur foobar
unicoder.py fract 15 1/4
unicoder.py 15 1/4 km/h
unicoder.py value 15 1/4 km/h
unicoder.py thin 15 1/4 km/h
unicoder.py nobr 15 1/4 km/h
This script helps to bold or slanted text to various social media platforms. The nobr thin fract parts are particularly useful for Wikipedia.
RESULT
Just for amusement, this is the result when running the commands shown above. Note that the bold and italic text snippets do not rely on <i> <b> <font> hints or some similar style markup, instead they use different codepoints from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols unicode blocks. Likewise fraktur and greek and double stroke characters are used often in the field of mathematics. The sans and mono are rarely used however.

TESTSUITE
Yes, there is a testsuite with more than a hundred unittests for the functions. The module can also be imported as helper to other scripts.
For developers, please use "make check" for the testsuite and do run also the "make type" for mypy typehints checks and "make pep" for pep8 style checks.
