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.
