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 converted, 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
