- SSH!
-
-
- Introduction:
-
- SSH! is a program for the IBM PC running under DOS, or Windows in a
- DOS window, which reads an HTML source file and outputs to the screen
- (or a specified file, printer or device) the HTML file in text format
- with rudimentary formatting. For the purposes of formatting, SSH!
- assumes a line length of 76 characters. Centered text is left space
- padded within a 76 wide line.
-
- Please remember that HTML is a graphics language, and any conversion
- to text requires compromises. Ssh! will attempt to format the text as
- the HTML author intended, but some manual tidying up will usually be
- required.
-

- specified "ALT=" text

-
- * HTML new-line commands are honoured
-
- * Multiple spaces in non-preformatted text are discarded
-
- * <CENTER> tag is honoured
-
- * align=center directive is honoured in standard font definition
- eg: <H1 align=center> is honoured, whereas
- <font size=1 align=center> is ignored.
