Help text

Convert Smarty templates (.stpl) to Exponential templates (.tpl)
Every *.stpl below --from becomes the *.tpl at the same place below --to, converted by
expSmartyReverseConverter: what the tpl -> stpl conversion writes, and common hand-written Smarty.
What has no exact .tpl form is kept as a {* SMARTY ... *} comment in the .tpl and reported as a NOTE.
--override-ini writes the -s siteaccess's override rules with MatchFile pointing at the converted .tpl.
The same as exp:template:convert --from-engine=stpl --to-engine=tpl.

./console exp:template:convert:stpl-to-tpl --from=extension/<ext>/design/<design> --to=var/tmp/<design>
./console exp:template:convert:stpl-to-tpl --from=extension/<ext>/design/<design> --dry-run
./console exp:template:convert:stpl-to-tpl --file=design/<design>/templates/<name>.stpl
./console exp:template:convert:stpl-to-tpl -s <siteaccess> --from=<design> --to=<design> --override-ini=<file>

Every written file ends with a marker comment ({* exp:template:convert stpl->tpl md5:... from ... *});
a target that has no marker, or was changed after it was written, is skipped (SKIP) unless --force
is given. The result is checked before it is written: a .tpl must parse. Prints WRITE or REPLACE for
every file written, NOTE for every construct that could not be converted exactly, ERROR for a
template that could not be converted, then PASS or FAIL with the counts.
Exit code: 0 PASS; 1 FAIL (a template could not be read, converted, checked or written); 2 wrong options.

Options

OptionValueHelp
--fromrequireddesign directory with the .stpl templates (every .stpl below it is converted)
--torequireddesign directory for the .tpl templates (default: the --from directory, next to the sources)
--filerequiredconvert this one .stpl only (below --from, or a file of its own: then --to is the target file)
--override-inirequiredoverride.ini.append.php to write for the --to design (the -s siteaccess's override rules, MatchFile pointing at the converted .tpl)
--dry-runshow what would be written; nothing is written
--forcealso replace a .tpl that was changed or written by hand (no marker, or not matching it)

Read from the option definitions in the code (startup(), getOptions(), options() or ezcConsoleOption). Every script also takes the standard options of the script framework (--help, --siteaccess, --debug, --quiet, --allow-root-user ...).
