- # HTMLCon Initialization File (current through version 1.8)
- # ---------------------------------------------------------
- #
- # ----- ABOUT THE HTMLCON.INI CONTROL FILE -----
- #
- # Lines beginning with a pound sign are considered comments.
- # All other lines are considered instructions and must exactly follow
- # the format described in this sample file. Arguments are seperated
- # by an equal sign (=) which must not be preceeded or succeeded by
- # a space or tab.
- #
- #
- # ----- DEFINING THE OUTPUT LINE LENGTH -----
- #
- # Define the default point at which HTMLCon should attempt to break a
- # line for the output file. The break is not guaranteed to occur at
- # this point, but as close to it as possible to retain the syntax of
- # the input line. Default=65.
- #
- linebreak=75
- #
- #
- # ----- COLLECTING STATISTICS -----
- #
- # Statistics can be compiled and written to the output file. Default=No.
- # Use of this function does not increase the processing time and it does
- # provide some interesting information in the output file.
- #
- statistics=yes
- #
- #
- # ----- VIEWING OR PROCESSING THE OUTPUT FILE AUTOMATICALLY -----
- #
- # You may launch another program after HTMLCon finishes its work. This
- # may be an ASCII file viewer, editor, or whatever. The launched program
- # must be able to take the output file name as an argument. In order to
- # accomplish this you must provide the FULL PATH to your program. This
- # is a handy function to allow you to automatically and immediately see
- # the results of the HTMLCon conversion process.
- #
- #launchprog=c:\utils\list.com
- #
- #
- # ----- FINDING AND REPLACING THINGS -----
- #
- # Find and replace: you may specify up to 50 strings to be located in
- # the HTML file and replaced in the ASCII output file. These will be a
- # direct replacement using the two commands "find=" and "replace=". Each
- # "find" element will be replaced by a "replace" element, therefore you
- # cannot have a "find=" statement without a following "replace=" statement.
- # To specify leading or ending spaces in a statement, surround the statement
- # with quotations ("). The strings cannot exceed 40 characters each.
- #
- find=" -- "
- replace=--
- #
- # Here is an example replacing all HTMLCon reference symbols [*] with just *.
- #
- #find=[*]
- #replace=*
- #
- # Or just ignore all references altogether...
- #
- #find=[*]
- #replace=
- #
- # And replace all HTMLCon image symbols [IMAGE] with a shorter one.
- #
- #find=[IMAGE]
- #replace=[I]
- #
- # Or just ignore them altogether...
- #
- #find=[IMAGE]
- #replace=
- #
- # And replace all HTMLCon list/tab markers with two spaces.
- #
- find=->
- replace=" "
- #
- # Or replace the list/tab markers with something else...
- #
- #find=->
- #replace=|
- #
- # Or just ignore them altogether...
- #
- #find=->
- #replace=
- #
- #
- # ----- KEEPING THE AUTHOR'S ORIGINAL FORMATTING -----
- #
- # You may elect to keep the formatting characteristics of the original
- # HTML file intact. This will preserve white spaces, line breaks, etc. as
- # originally constructed by the author of the HTML page. This option
- # will also eliminate the HTMLCon tab markers (->) and replace them with
- # four spaces to indicate tab lists. Uncomment the following line to
- # preserve the original formatting:
- #
- #keepformatting=yes
- #
- #
- # ----- IGNORING HTMLCON'S MARKERS IN THE OUTPUT FILE -----
- #
- # You may choose to have HTMLCon not replace certain HTML constructs
- # with its own markers (for example, HTMLCon replaces URL references
- # with the symbol [*]). To have HTMLCon simply ignore its own symbols and
- # not reference certain items in the original HTML file, uncomment the
- # next line:
- #
- #ignoresymbols=yes
- #
- #
- # ----- PRESERVING HREF MARKERS IN THE OUTPUT FILE -----
- #
- # You may instruct HTMLCon to preserve all <A HREF...> constructs when
- # converting the HTML file. These references will be preserved intact,
- # without modification. To use this feature, uncomment the next line:
- #
- #keephref=yes
- #
- #
- # ----- ELIMINATING ADVERTISEMENTS AND DELAYS -----
- #
- # Eliminate the advertisements and delays
- # [available to registered users only]
- #
- #
- # ----- PRINTING THE OUTPUT FILE ON LPT1 -----
- #
- # If you would like the option to send the processed file to LPT1
- # then uncomment the next line:
- #
- #useprinter=yes
- #
- # Note that you may only send the processed file to a line printer
- # attached to LPT1 and that HTMLCon assumes the printer is connected
- # and operating properly.
- #
- #
- # ----- SPEED PROCESSING MULTIPLE FILES -----
- #
- # Uncomment the following line to tell HTMLCon to NEVER pause for any
- # prompt, including the call to your file viewer or other
- # post-processor.
- #
- #nopause=yes
- #
- #
- # ----- IGNORING CERTAIN FILE TYPES -----
- #
- # The following directive lists file extensions which should always be
- # ignored by HTMLCon. If an input file name contains one of these
- # extensions than it will never be processed. Note that the file
- # extension must always include the "." in this directive:
- #
- ignore=.ZIP.EXE.COM.LZH.GIF.LPG.ARC.ASC.SYS.INI.TXT.DOC
- #
- #
- # ----- USING USER-DEFINED FILTERS -----
- #
- # Uncomment the next directive to have HTMLCon apply a set of filter
- # replacements contained in the file HTMLCON.FIL in HTMLCon's default
- # directory. This filter file will find and replace HTML ENTITIES
- # in your output file.
- #
- usefilter=yes
- #
- #
- # ----- CHANGING THE DEFAULT OUTPUT FILE NAME EXTENSION -----
- #
- # HTMLCon normally uses the default file extension ".ASC" when multiple
- # files are processed or the file extension is not specified. You may
- # specify your own default file extension using the following command.
- # This file extension MUST be preceeded by a "." and contain no more than
- # three characters.
- #
- #extension=.TXT
- #
- #
- # End of file
