NAME

       pdbtxt2html - Doc Text to HTML converter for Palm Pilots

SYNOPSIS

       pdbtxt2html [ -t ] file.txt [ file.html ]
       pdbtxt2html -v

DESCRIPTION

       pdbtxt2html converts text converted from a Doc(4) file via txt2pdbdoc(1) to HTML.  If no HTML filename is
       given, the generated HTML is sent to standard output.

   Document Title
       The first line of the file is used for the HTML document title.

   Bookmarks
       The last line of the file is examined and, if it contains a string enclosed between  <  and  >,  that  is
       taken  to  be  the  bookmark marker.  The entire file is then scanned looking for lines beginning with it
       (ignoring leading whitespace).  These lines are converted to HTML headings.

       The number of whitespace characters after the first bookmark marker is used for  heading  level  1.   The
       level  of  subsequent  headings is set to the number of whitespace characters between the bookmark marker
       and the bookmark text minus the number for the first bookmark plus one.

   Embedded URLs
       Valid URLs (according to RFC 1630) embedded in the text are turned into  hyperlinks.   The  ftp,  gopher,
       http, https, mailto, news, telnet, and wais URLs are recognized.

OPTIONS

       -t   Compile a table of contents and insert it between the first heading and the body.

       -v   Print the version number to standard output and exit.

       To convert a Doc file to HTML:
