Lazy Web: I wrote a...

Submitted by jem (not verified) on October 19, 2005 - 8:17pm.

Lazy Web: I wrote a simple python script that scanned a folder of textfiles looking for ‘todo paragraphs’ which was extracted and created an HTML files. The HTML page included links so I could open BBEdit and get it to jump to a certain todo item just by clicking a link in the web browser.
