NAME
aecat - display an aewan document
SYNOPSIS
aecat [-b] [-c] [-{n|N}] [{-p | -l <layer_num>}] [-f <format>] [-o <output_file>] inputfile
DESCRIPTION
This is an utility program that will convert an aewan document to ANSI escape sequences so that it can be rendered on a standard terminal.
Alternatively, it can also generate HTML code for displaying the document in a web page. Any particular layer of the document may be con-
verted, or you may request a composite of all layers.
OPTIONS
-f specifies output format - can "text", "html" or "comment". Default is "text". The "comment" format extracts document metadata.
-c prepend a 'clear screen' escape sequence (only valid when outputting text).
-o<file>
writes output to specified file rather than stdout
-b disables output of color (only characters will be printed).
-l<layer_no>
specifies which layer of the document is to be used (must be an index, not a layer name). By default, layer 0 will be used.
-L displays the number of layers in the file.
-p exports a composite, that is, overlays all visible layers, paying attention to layer transparency, etc. The size of the composite
will be the size of the first layer
-n suppress output of newlines
-h prints a short help text
