Using just grep alone I don't see a way to fully do this. The closest I
could come up with is:
find: \[ ([^\]]+)\]\[\]
Replace: [ \1](#\L\1)
This will turn
[ Charging for School Activities][]
into
[ Charging for School Activities](#charging for school activities)
This still leaves the spaces that need translating into dashes in anchor
portion. If you're not afraid of using Perl, you can use a unix filter.
-----------
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
if ($_ =~ m/\[ ([^\]]+)\]\[\](.*)$/) {
($n2=$1) =~ tr/A-Z /a-z\-/;
print "[ $1](#$n2)$2\n";
}
else {
print "$_";
}
}
-----------
You can run this from the #! menu.
