NAME

       hlins - insert url's into html documents

SYNOPSIS

       hlins [options] [infile]

DESCRIPTION

       hlins  is  a program that inserts hypertext links into html documents, according to one or
       several data bases associating addresses (url's) to names. hlins is designed for inserting
       links  for  persons:  It knows about abbreviations of first and middle names and tolerated
       dropping of the last part of a composite last name.

       If no file argument is given then input is taken from stdin; when no  output  option  (see
       below) is given then output goes to stdout.

       For a complete description, see the documentation in html format.
