This is intended as a pre-processor, so the header is using markdown here, but could equally be html. Alternatively if you specify a comma separated list of "interviewers" and "interviewees" at the top of the file to be processed, you'll get some css classes as well: # Interview between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, 3rd April, 2000 BC interviewer: fred,wilma interviewee: barney,betty Fred: [00:00:00] So what's it like to be a flintstone? Barney: [00:00:05] I'm not a Flintstone, I'm a Rubble. What do you think Betty? Betty: [00:00:10] Yes Fred, you're confused. Wilma: [00:00:15] I'm so terribly embarrassed by my husband. Which ought to render to: # Interview between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, 3rd April, 2000 BCinterviewer: fred, wilma
interviewee: barney, betty
So what's it like to be a flintstone?
I'm not a Flintstone, I'm a Rubble. What do you think Betty?
This gives us the ability to put pretty colours in the interview transcript with CSS, something like this: h2.interviewer > p { color: red } (or something far more tortorous if you need to Internet Explorer 6 support ...) FUNCTIONS process Takes the text, and spits out the html. AUTHOR Kieren Diment, "
