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, standard 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 information 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.

BUGS

           •   The word wrapping algorithm is probably not very clever.

           •   Sometimes there are extra linebreaks in the output.

           •   Probably many others.
