DESCRIPTION

       The grohtml front end (which consists of a preprocessor, pre-grohtml, and a device driver,
       post-grohtml) translates the output of GNU troff to  HTML.   Users  should  always  invoke
       grohtml  via  the groff command with a -Thtml option.  If no files are given, grohtml will
       read the standard input.  A filename of - will also cause grohtml  to  read  the  standard
       input.   Html  output  is  written  to  the standard output.  When grohtml is run by groff
       options can be passed to grohtml using groff's -P option.

       grohtml invokes groff twice.  In the first  pass,  pictures,  equations,  and  tables  are
       rendered  using the ps device, and in the second pass HTML output is generated by the html
       device.

       grohtml always writes output in UTF-8 encoding and has  built-in  entities  for  all  non-
       composite  unicode  characters.   In spite of this, groff may issue warnings about unknown
       special characters if they can't be found during the first pass.   Such  warnings  can  be
       safely ignored unless the special characters appear inside a table or equation.

OPTIONS

       -aaa-text-bits
              Number  of  bits of antialiasing information to be used by text when generating PNG
              images.  The default is 4 but valid values are 0, 1, 2, and 4.  Note  your  version
              of  gs needs to support the -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicAlphaBits options in order
              to exploit antialiasing.  A value of 0  stops  grohtml  from  issuing  antialiasing
              commands to gs.

       -b     Initialize the background color to white.

       -Ddir  Inform grohtml to place all image files into directory dir.

       -e     This  option should not be directly invoked by the user as it is an internal option
              utilized by groff when -Thtml or -Txhtml is specified.  It is used by  the  grohtml
              preprocessor  to determine whether eqn should attempt to produce MathML (if -Txhtml
              is specified).

       -Fdir  Prepend directory dir/devname to the search path for font  and  device  description
              files; name is the name of the device, usually html.

       -gaa-graphic-bits
              Number  of  bits of antialiasing information to be used by graphics when generating
              PNG images.  The default is 4 but valid values are 0,  1,  2,  and  4.   Note  your
              version  of  gs needs to support the -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicAlphaBits options
              in order to exploit  antialiasing.   A  value  of  0  stops  grohtml  from  issuing
              antialiasing commands to gs.

       -h     Generate  section  and  number headings by using <B>...</B> and increasing the font
              size, rather than using the <Hn>...</Hn> tags.

       -iresolution
              Select the resolution for all images.  By default this  is  100  pixels  per  inch.
              Example: -i200 indicates 200 pixels per inch.

       -Istem Determine  the  image  stem  name.  If omitted grohtml uses grohtml-XXX (XXX is the
              process ID).

       -jfilename
              Inform grohtml to split the HTML output into multiple files.  The filename  is  the
              stem  and specified section headings (default is level one) start a new file, named
              filename-n.html.

       -l     Turn off the production of automatic section links at the top of the document.

       -n     Generate simple  heading  anchors  whenever  a  section/number  heading  is  found.
              Without  the  option  the  anchor  value  is  the  textual heading.  This can cause
              problems when a heading  contains  a  ‘?’a  on  older  versions  of  some  browsers
              (Netscape).  This flag is automatically turned on if a heading contains an image.

       -overtical-offset
              Specify the vertical offset of images in points.

       -p     Display  page  rendering  progress  to stderr.  grohtml only displays a page number
              when an image is required.

       -r     Turn off the automatic header and footer line (HTML rule).

       -s size
              Set the base point size of the source file.  Thereafter when  this  point  size  is
              used in the source it will correspond to the HTML base size.  Every increase of two
              points in the source will yield a <big> tag, and conversely when a decrease of  two
              points is seen a <small> tag is emitted.

       -Slevel
              When  splitting  HTML  output,  split  at  the heading level (or higher) defined by
              level.

       -v     Print the version number.

       -V     Create an XHTML or HTML validator  button  at  the  bottom  of  each  page  of  the
              document.

       -xdialect
              Select  HTML  dialect.   Currently,  dialect  should  be  either the digit 4 or the
              letter x  which  indicates  whether  grohtml  should  generate  HTML  4  or  XHTML,
              respectively.   This  option should not be directly invoked by the user as it is an
              internal option utilized by groff when -Thtml or -Txhtml is specified.

       -y     Produce a right-justified groff signature at the end of the document.  This is only
              generated if the -V flag is also specified.

USAGE

       There are styles called R, I, B, and BI mounted at font positions 1 to 4.

DEPENDENCIES

       grohtml  is  dependent  upon the PNG utilities (pnmcut, pnmcrop, pnmtopng) and GhostScript
       (gs).  pnmtopng (version 2.37.6 or greater) and pnmcut from the  netpbm  package  (version
       9.16  or  greater)  will  work  also.  It is also dependent upon psselect from the PSUtils
       package.  Images are generated whenever a table, picture, equation or line is encountered.

FILES

       grohtml uses temporary files.  See the groff(1) man page for details where such files  are
       created.

ENVIRONMENT

       GROFF_FONT_PATH
              A  list  of directories in which to search for the devname directory in addition to
              the default ones.  See troff(1) and groff_font(5) for more details.

       SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
              A timestamp (expressed as seconds since the Unix epoch)  to  use  as  the  creation
              timestamp in place of the current time.

BUGS

       Grohtml has been completely redesigned and rewritten.  It is still beta code.
