html2stx

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.

       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.
