Libpurple to markdown conversion script. Conversion script for HTML-based logs from [Pidgin/Libpurple](https://pidgin.im/) chat program. **This is an one-off script, and is not actively maintained.** ## Motivation I recently discovered [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) and liked the prospect of cross-referencing my notes with my old chat logs. Libpurple uses HTML logs if you haven't configured it to something else (which I haden't). I no longer use IRC or Pidgin as my entire friend group have switched to using Matrix. ## Usage From the repository root: ```bash python -m libpurple_to_markdown LOG_DIRECTORY --output OUTPUT_FOLDER ``` It was made specifically for import into Obsidian, so it might not suite your purposes, but it shouldn't be too difficult to adjust. ## Dependencies All requirements can be installed easily using: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` Full list of requirements: - [beautifulsoup4](https://pypi.org/project/beautifulsoup4/) ## License ``` MIT License Copyright (c) 2024 Jon Michael Aanes Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
