livescribe

The Livescribe smartpen in a pretty cool tech toy, but it's not perfect, especially not for formatted output. This script treats Livescribe's OCR output as messy almost-Markdown, then emails or POSTs its cleaned up HTML to the destination of your choice.

Note: use at your own risk. I'm the only user of this script so far, so it's not entirely generic.

If the file dictionary.yml exists, words will be searched and replaced based on it.

POST to a url

If using the "POST to a url" option, it can expect snippet to contain the HTML output and is_html to be 1.

There can only be one occurrence of "CONTINUE HERE" in the doc. In particular, it cannot appear in both a table of contents and the document body itself.
