#!/usr/bin/python

## This custom tool helps to create mindmap like diagrams

# the main core algorithm comes from http://blog.ynema.com/?p=192
# adapted to suit the ZIM structure and some additional improvement of nodes (like a formating feature)
# write page with content corresponding to the webpage http://www.text2mindmap.com/

# it automatically creates a png file in the same folder as a source text (page) => has to be inserted to the page manually
# the source text (page) corresponds to a page title (it allows few mindmaps per page)

## examples of file generation (source mindmap.txt)
# single mindmap generates two files: mindmap.dot and mindmap.png
# multiple mindmaps generate multiple files: mindmap_rootnode1.dot, mindmap_rootnode1.png, mindmap_rootnode2.dot, mindmap_rootnode2.png

## U S A G E
# write indented text in the page (use a TAB key)
# save the page (ctrl+s) and reload the page (ctrl+r) => check wether there are no empty lines in the mindmaps => if so, use delete instead of backspace (this is important, else it generates two mindmaps)
# the script distincts formating of keyards according to formatting types (bold, italic and underline)
# activate the command tool (this script) with attached parameter of a absolute path to the page (%s)
