Htags-server is a private Web/CGI server for the hyper-text generated by htags(1).

       In  advance of using this command, you should execute htags(1).  Then you can execute htags-server at the
       same place.  You can start browsing at 'http://localhost:8000/' by default.  To  stop  the  server,  just
       press on 'CTRL-C'.

       Python  2/3  or Ruby equipped with WEBrick is required.  By default, htags-server looks for python first,
       if not found then looks for ruby.
