# 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.
