Author: Yuya Nishihara

Overview

This extension tries to convert unreadable binary content to plain text when displaying, so that you can see decent diff of binary files.

Currently supports the following conversions:

• textful.encoding: convert character encoding

• textful.msexcel: Microsoft Excel (*.xls), requires xlrd or pyExcelerator

• textful.pipe: filter by external command, e.g. catdoc for Microsoft Word (*.doc)

Configuration

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
textful = /path/to/hgext/textful
#textful.encoding = /path/to/hgext/textful/encoding.py
#textful.msexcel = /path/to/hgext/textful/msexcel.py
#textful.pipe = /path/to/hgext/textful/pipe.py

[extensions]
textful = /path/to/hgext/textful
textful.encoding = /path/to/hgext/textful/encoding.py

[textful]
encoding = utf-8, euc-jp, cp932, iso-2022-jp
# specify 'utf-8-sig' for UTF-8 with BOM, which is commonly used in Microsoft applications

To add textful cat command without breaking original cat:

[alias]
scat = cat

[textful]
attend = annotate, diff, glog, log, qdiff, scat
