TXLConverter
============

For existing TXL files, there is a command line interface script that converts them to SVG / HTML files.

Usage
-----
The usage is very simple. Simply run the python script `TXLWizard/TXLConverterCLI.py`.
The command line interface will allow you to change the configuration as you wish. Furthermore, the configuration is saved
and restored for a subsequent run.



Code
####
To use the `TXLConverter` from the command line type

.. code-block:: bash

    python TXLWizard/Tools/TXLConverterCLI.py

Or if you want to call it in your own python script do

.. code-block:: python

    import TXLWizard.TXLConverter
    TXLConverterCLI = TXLWizard.TXLConverter.TXLConverterCLI()

The resulting command line interface looks as follows:
