strpsgml.icn: Program to strip/translate SGML tags

Strip or perform simple translation on SGML <>-style tags.  Usage
is as follows:

    strpsgml [-f translation-file] [left-delimiter [right-delimiter]]

The default left-delimiter is <, the default right delimiter is >.
If no translation file is specified, the program acts as a strip-
per, simply removing material between the delimiters.  Strpsgml
takes its input from stdin, writing to stdout.

The format of the translation file is:

    code     initialization  completion

A tab or colon separates the fields.  If you want to use a tab or colon
as part of the text (and not as a separator), place a backslash before
it.  The completion field is optional.  There is not currently any way
of specifying a completion field without an initialization field.  Do
not specify delimiters as part of code.

Note that, if you are translating SGML code into font change or escape
sequences, you may get unexpected results.  This isn't strpsgml's
fault.  It's just a matter of how your terminal or WP operate.  Some
need to be "reminded" at the beginning of each line what mode or font
is being used.  Note also that stripsgml assumes < and > as delimiters.
If you want to put a greater-than or less-than sign into your text,
put a backslash before it.  This will effectively "escape" the spe-
cial meaning of those symbols.  It is now possible to change the
default delimiters, but the option has not been thoroughly tested.
