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.
