Helpfile Converter

This page converts helpfiles written for PennMUSH's hardcoded "help" system into ones suitable for a softcoded +help system.

"Intelligent" mode attempts to correctly handle hard-wrapped lines, but may not always do so correctly. Literal mode will convert carriage returns literally.

'%s' in the attribute name format will be replaced with the topic name. You can choose to convert any spaces in the topic name to an underscore, remove them, or enter your own string to use.
