Description

tojs lets you convert between plain text, javascript strings, and document.write() statements.

It's original purpose, was to read in an .html file, and output it as a series of document.write() statements. This is useful when creating bookmarklets. You can code your .html page, then run tojs on it. Now all your bookmarklet has to do is include a script tag that points to the file you created with tojs.

Since version 1.2.0, tojs was converted to a node.js project, and now supports a few different input/output formats. To see the new options, check out the Usage and Options sections below.
