html2stx(1) General Commands Manual html2stx(1) NAME html2stx - convert HTML documents into Stx 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, stan- dard 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 informa- tion 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. SEE ALSO stx2any (1), Stx-ref.html BUGS o The word wrapping algorithm is probably not very clever. o Sometimes there are extra linebreaks in the output. o Probably many others. AUTHOR This manual page was written by Panu A. Kalliokoski. html2stx is derived from the html2text utility by Aaron Swartz. html2text is a utility for converting html into "Markdown" structured text; the changes required to make it work for Stx were done by Panu Kalliokoski.
