What the Python tool adds

The online converter is useful for quick paste-and-copy work. The Python tool adds local files, repeatable outputs, CSS template behaviour, downloadable project packages, and a better fit for GitHub or folder-based workflows.

Local files

Read a transcript file and generate HTML, CSS and optional Word-friendly output in the same folder.

Templates and themes

Use built-in themes or provide your own CSS template for a repeatable house style.

Put your marked transcript in aichat.txt, then run:

python3 aichatprocess.py

python3 aichatprocess.py --theme dark --write-css overwrite
python3 aichatprocess.py --word-output aichat-word.html
python3 aichatprocess.py --source mychat.txt --output mychat.html
