This is a simple python tool to reformat a pasted list for use in python, markdown, or plain text.
I always get annoyed when I copy a list from one program to another, and the list ends up pasting as an unformatted, unstructured mess.
Unstructured data isn't just ugly and annoying to work with, though. It's inaccessible. Screen readers and other assistive technology rely on invisible structures for navigation. An unstructured list that doesn't use proper markup isn't recognized as a list by those tools.
Hopefully this will be useful for otehrs. It's definitely useful for me!
I'm working on some more robust parsing, as well as additional output options (at least html). But first, I'm learning going to add a simple test suite (partly as a way to learn pytest).
