-
- Documentation for HTMLDOC is available in the "doc" subdirectory

- GIF, JPEG, and PNG images. Eventually HTMLDOC will be compliant
- with HTML 4.0 and support style sheets.

-
- HTMLDOC accepts a list of HTML "source" files and will generate
- HTML, PostScript, or PDF output via command-line options. A
- summary of command-line options can be shown with the "--help"
- option:
-
- htmldoc --help
-
- HTMLDOC normally expects "structured" documents, with chapters,
- etc. Chapters begin with a <H1> markup and continue to the end of
- the listed HTML files or the next <H1> markup, whichever comes
- first. To convert unstructured documents such as web pages, use
- the "--webpage" option to HTMLDOC:
-
- htmldoc --webpage ...
-
- To generate a Level 2 PostScript file you might use:
-
- htmldoc -f outfile.ps chapter1.html ... chapterN.html
-
- Similarly you can generate a PDF file of the same source files
- using:
-
- htmldoc -f outfile.pdf chapter1.html ... chapterN.html
-
- Finally, to generate HTML files for viewing (with a linked table-
- of-contents) do the following:
-
- htmldoc -t html -d outdir chapter1.html ... chapterN.html
-
- or:
-
- htmldoc -t html -f outfile.html chapter1.html ... chapterN.html
-
- A complete description of all command-line options and HTML
- guidelines can be found in the software users manual in the "doc"
- directory.
-
-
- CURRENT LIMITATIONS
-
- - No support for style sheets.
- - CAPTIONs are always shown at the top of the table.
- - HTML 4.0 table elements and attributes are not supported
- (rules, THEAD, TFOOT, etc.)
