- If you can't quite manage to live without hardcopy, you may
- wish sometimes to print WWW files. I have written a couple
- of scripts to do this. They are particularly useful with
- Pei Wei's excellent Viola WWW browser.
-
- A tar archive is available for anonymous FTP:
-
- dri.cornell.edu/pub/davis/print-www.tar
-
- It contains:
-
- README
- print-www
- print-www.l
- html-to-latex
- html2latex.sed (modified version of original CERN version)
-
- The hardest part was writing the perl script to obtain documents
- via http protocol - turns out you cant just run pipes through telnet.
-
- The conversion from HTML to LaTex is not really robust yet -
- this is doubly hard since there is no guarentee that the HTML
- is legal. But at least it works for my test cases. No doubt
- it will be improved in time.
-
- best wishes
