zalgo-text

A command-line tool that help convert input string to glitched text, which also known as zalgo text.

Usage

I believe this tool can be used to generate zalgo-text test cases for any application with text rendering support. For example, terminal emulator, browser or other GUI application.

> zalgo-text "hello,world"
> h͖̫̍̂ͫe̶̞ͩ̈̎l͇͚ͯ̐ͫl̫̘̘̓͊o͉̐ͭ́͛,͓̓͏̥͝w̱̭ͨ͊̂o̠̬ͣ͡ͅŗͬͮ̇͡l̵̦̼̫ͣd̨̜̥͆͗

Usage: zalgo-text [OPTIONS] <TEXT>

Arguments:
  <TEXT>

Options:
  -n, --num <NUM>   mark num [default: 6]
      --extend      use extend marks
