    Documentation for HTMLDOC is available in the "doc" subdirectory

    HTMLDOC supports most HTML 3.2 and some HTML 4.0 markups as well as
    GIF, JPEG, and PNG images.  Eventually HTMLDOC will be compliant
    with HTML 4.0 and support style sheets.

    For general discussions about HTMLDOC, subscribe to the HTMLDOC
    mailing list by sending a message to "majordomo@easysw.com" with
    the text "subscribe htmldoc".

    The HTMLDOC home page is located at:

        http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc

    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.)
