App::Basis::ConvertText2::UtfTransform

SYNOPSIS

    use 5.10.0 ;
    use strict ;
    use warnings ;
    use App::Basis::ConvertText2::UtfTransform

    my $string = "<b>bold text</b> 
    <i>italic text</i>
    <f>flipped upside down text and reversed</f>
    <l>Some Leet speak</l>
    <o>text in bubbles</o>
    <s>script text</s>
    :beer:
    :)
    ;)

    " ;

    say utf_transform( $string) ;

DESCRIPTION

A number of popular websites (eg twitter) do not allow the use of HTML to create bold/italic font effects.

However we can simulate this with some clever transformations of plain ascii text into UTF8 codes which are a different font and so effectively create the same effect.

We have transformations for flip (reverses the string and flips upside down, bold, italic, bubbles and leet.

We can transform A-Z a-z 0-9 and ? ! ,
