html2stx

SYNOPSIS

html2stx [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

html2stx takes the given file, which should contain an HTML document, and converts it to structured text (Stx). If no file is given, standard input is read instead.

The program does not attempt to convert every possibly convertible piece of markup into Stx. For example, <font> tags are simply ignored. This tends to result in a nice, clean, beautiful document. (If it doesn't, the source document probably does not contain enough information to start with.)

OPTIONS

None.

DIAGNOSTICS

html2stx is a python script and will throw an exception if something goes amiss. In this case, the return value will be non-zero.

BUGS

• The word wrapping algorithm is probably not very clever.
• Sometimes there are extra linebreaks in the output.
• Probably many others.
