It is, in part, my \"Hello, World\"\nfor getting to know ES6-ish ways of coding, and also seeing what's possible\nwith node (which I've never used before to write CLI tools).\n\nThe code itself is mostly based on what I wrote for\nthe [`WEGLib`](https://github.com/davep/weg/tree/master/WEGLib) library that\nforms part of [`weg`](https://github.com/davep/weg).\n\nI don't offer this as good ES6 code. I don't offer this as good code at all.\nAt the moment I'm also not really considering taking contributions to the\ncode as this is still a pet project.\n\nAnyone looking for background documentation for the format of Norton Guide\nfiles might\nfind\n[my page of documentation about it](http://davep.org/norton-guides/file-format/) useful.\n\n# Contents\n\n`lib/jsNG*.js` - The main jsNG library code.\nSee [the docs](http://blog.davep.org/jsNG/) for details on how to use it.\n\n`bin/ngabout` -- Tool to get the credits for one or more Norton Guide files.\n\n`bin/ngdir` -- Simple tool to show a directory of Norton Guide files. Shows\nthe name, the type and the title of each guide.\n\n`bin/ngserve` -- Simple Norton Guide database server. By default it serves\nall of the guides named on the command line\non [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080/).\n\n`bin/ng2html` -- Simple tool for turning a Norton Guide file into a\ncollection of HTML files.\n\n# Make targets\n\nThe top level directory contains a `Makefile`. The most useful targets are:\n\n`make tests` -- Runs a simple test (found in `test/`) to ensure some of the\ncore functions of jsNG are working fine.\n\n`make dump` -- Runs `bin/ngdump` on a test guide.\n\n`make dir` -- Runs `bin/ngdir` on the test guides.\n\n`make about` -- Runs `bin/ngabout` on a test guide.\n\n`make serve` -- Runs `bin/ngserve` on the test guides.\n\n[//]: # (README.md ends here)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavep%2Fjsng","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdavep%2Fjsng","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavep%2Fjsng/lists"}
