NAME
       yodlverbinsert -	Generate verb-sections from parts of a file

SYNOPSIS
       yodlverbinsert [OPTIONS]	[marker] file

DESCRIPTION
       Verbinsert is a simple C++ support program that can be used to generate
       verb()-sections	in  Yodl  files	 from  sections	of existing files. The
       files from which	sections are included are  usually  C  or  Cpp	source
       files,  accepting  either // or /*-style	comment. See the EXAMPLES sec-
       tion for	illustrations.

       Verbinsert  offers  the	possibility  to	 indent	  both	 the   initial
       verb-statement  and  the	 inserted file contents. Furthermore, an addi-
       tional empty line may be	inserted before	the first line that  is	 actu-
       ally inserted.

       Blank lines at the beginning and	end of files are ignored.

       o      marker
	      The  argument  marker  must start	in file's first	column en must
	      either start as a	standard C or C++ comment: // or  /*  must  be
	      used. Following that, the	remainder of the argument is used as a
	      label,  e.g., //label, /*label*/.	Except for the first two char-
	      acters and their locations, and the last	two  characters	 of  a
	      C-style marker, no special restrictions are imposed upon the la-
	      bel-names.  A  labeled  section ends at the next //= (for	labels
	      starting with //)	or at the next /**/ (for labels	starting  with
	      /*). Like	the markers, the end-markers must also	start  in  the
	      first columns of lines.

	      Alternatively, pairs of //+label,	or /*+label*/ can be used. For
	      such  markers,  copying  starts  at the first line following the
	      first occurrence of the label, and ends when the	label  is  en-
	      countered	 again.	  When these markers are used any additionally
	      encountered marker-line is simply	ignored, and  not  written  to
	      the output stream.  This allowes labeled sections	to be nested.

       o      file
	      The argument file	must be	an existing file.

       Verbinsert writes its selected section to its standard output stream.

       NOTE:  Starting	with Yodl version 3.00.0 Yodl's	default	file inclusion
       behavior	has changed. The current working directory no  longer  remains
       fixed at	the directory in which Yodl is called, but is volatile,	chang-
       ing  to the directory in	which a	yodl-file is located. This has the ad-
       vantage that Yodl's file	inclusion behavior now	matches	 the  way  C's
       #include	 directive operates; it	has the	disadvantage that it may break
       some current documents.	Conversion,  however  is  simple  but  can  be
       avoided altogether if Yodl's -L (--legacy-include) option is used.

OPTIONS
       The  default  values of options are listed with each of the options be-
       tween square brackets. The defaults were	chosen so that	yodlverbinsert
       performs	 the behavior of an earlier version of this program, which was
       not distributed with Yodl.

       o      -a
	      Process all lines	of file	(except	 initial  and  trailing	 blank
	      lines). The argument marker must not be specified.

       o      -A
	      Same  as	the -a option, but ignoring all	lines that can be con-
	      sidered yodlverbinsert (end) marker-lines.

       o      -n
	      Immediately following the	indentation:  lines  are  prefixed  by
	      numbers, occupying 2 columns, followed by	a colon	and a blank.

       o      -N
	      Do  not  write  a	newline	immediately following verb-statement's
	      open-parenthesis.	By default it is  written,  causing  an	 addi-
	      tional line to be	inserted before	the first line that's actually
	      inserted from a file.

       o      -s nSpaces [0]
	      start  each  line	 that  is  written  into the verb-section with
	      nSpaces additional blanks.

       o      -S nSpaces [8]
	      prefix the  verb	of  the	 verb-section  by  nSpaces  additional
	      blanks.

       o      -t nTabs [0]
	      start each line that is written into the verb-section with nTabs
	      additional  tab characters. If both -s and -t are	specified, the
	      tabs are inserted	first.

       o      -T nTabs [0]
	      prefix the verb of the  verb-section  by	nTabs  additional  tab
	      characters.  If  both  -S	and -T are specified, the tabs are in-
	      serted first.

EXAMPLE
       Assume the file demo contains the following text:

       preceding text

       //+nest
       //one
       one 1

       //=

       /*two*/

	   two

       /**/
       //+nest

       trailing	text

       Then the	following commands write the shown  output  to	the  program's
       standard	output:

       o      yodlverbinsert //one demo
		      verb(
	      one 1
	      )

       o      yodlverbinsert -N	//one demo
		      verb(one 1
	      )

       o      yodlverbinsert -n	-s4 '/*two*/' demo
		      verb(
		      1: two
	      )

       o      yodlverbinsert -n	//+nest' demo
		      verb(
	       1: one 1
	       2:
	       3:
	       4:
	       5:     two
	      )
