[SOLVED] What program to use for playing with Pango markup

FlinchX · 02-20-2020, 10:42 PM

I would like to fiddle with Pango markup and I'm looking for a tiny program that could render Pango markup and show me the result as an image that I could save. I'd like something that won't drag half of Gnome as dependencies. A Pango markup REPL on a website would do as well. Any suggestions?

imagemagick can do that.
shell snippet:

Code:

pangostring="<span font=\"Sans\">\
<span size=\"55555\">$(date '+%A, %B %-d')\n</span>\
<span size=\"155555\">$(date '+%R')</span>\
</span>"
color_bg=white
color_fg=black
convert -background "$color_bg" -fill "$color_fg" pango:"$pangostring" test.png
