- Type: text/tex
-
- Description
-
- Post-processor for html2tex (also to be found in text/tex).
-
- Converts double apostrophes (") to `` and ''.
-
- Also converts *bold* pairs (marked by asterisks) into jmsempth{bold}.
-
- Usage
-
- HTMLtoTeXAid infile outfile
-
- The program will ask for confirmation, you can either just tap
- return or enter y/yes/yo (or anything else starting with `y') to
- do the conversion, other response are considered to be `no'.
-
- The two replacement strings can overlap in their area of influence.
-
- Programming notes
-
- Written in ARexx.
-
- Quite customizable. For example, look at lines 20 to 22.
- find_string.1 contains the string to search for, which happens to
- be the asterisk. repl_strng1.1 and repl_strng2.1 contain the strings
- which will alternately replace the asterisk.
-
- Similarly, lines 30 to 32.
-
-
- v 1.0 30 December 1996.
-
- Multiple changes just prior to release!
-
- Will only print out text again if it has been changed.
- Will accept any word starting with `y' as a request to change text.
- Provided new example file (the one I actually used to develop the
- program is missing...)
