html2stx - convert HTML documents into Stx
Contents
Bugs
• The word wrapping algorithm is probably not very clever.
• Sometimes there are extra linebreaks in the output.
• Probably many others.
Description
html2stx takes the given file, which should contain an HTML document, and converts it to structured text
(Stx). If no file is given, standard input is read instead.
The program does not attempt to convert every possibly convertible piece of markup into Stx. For
example, <font> tags are simply ignored. This tends to result in a nice, clean, beautiful document. (If
it doesn't, the source document probably does not contain enough information to start with.)
Diagnostics
html2stx is a python script and will throw an exception if something goes amiss. In this case, the
return value will be non-zero.
