A tool to eye the outline of various documents (and convert them).
I'm not sure who needs this, but here it is: Keep an EyeOut can read the outline (i.e. only the headings) out of various file formats and write them out as indented text, or else in one of the same formats. These include:
Of these, OPML is the odd one out; the rest do headings in similar ways.
Keep an EyeOut is written in Python (2.7 or 3.x) for the command line, and requires only the standard library. Usage:
$ ./eyeout.py -h
usage: eyeout.py [-h] [-v] [-f] [-i FORMAT] [-o FORMAT] [-m NUMBER]
[-n NUMBER]
