Examples
========
::
html2po -P site pot
This will find all HTML files (.htm, .html, .xhtml) in *site* convert them to
POT files and place them in *pot*::
po2html -t site xh site-xh
All the PO translations in *xh* will be converted to html using html files in
*site* as templates and outputting new translated HTML files in *site-xh*
.. _html2po#bugs:
Bugs
====
We don't hide enough of some of the tags, e.g. <a> tags have too much exposed,
we should expose only what needs to be translated and allow the changing on
position of the tag within the translation block. Similarly there is some
markup that could be excluded e.g. <b> tags that appear at the start and end of
a msgid, i.e. they don't need placement from the translator.
If the HTML is indented you get very odd msgid's
Some items end up in the msgid's that should not be translated
It might be worth investigating
