# Octopus
A pharo tool that utilises Pillar library to process pillar text copied to the clipboard and convert it to HTML
## Instalation
Just open a pharo Playground and do the following command
```smalltalk
Metacello new baseline: 'Octopus' ; repository: 'github://kilon/Octopus:master';load.
```
Bare in mind that Octopus downloads and install latest development version of Pillar, so it may take some time.
## How to use
Just issue the start command to start Octopus
```smalltalk
Octopus start
```
stop it with
```smalltalk
Octopus stop
```
and check that is running with
```smalltalk
Octopus isRunning print
```
The steps are easy
1. Start Octopus
2. copy/cut pillar syntax from any place, editor , whatever you want after you add 'pillar' at the top of it, so Octopus knows you want to do the conversion and its not just a regular copy/cut paste
3. when you paste it will paste back the converted pillar to html
4. Profit !!!
## Why to use
You can use Octopus for any kind of easy generation of html code :)
I am using it for making my own website and blog. Make sure you save your pillar to a text file so you can always go back to it and do changes.
