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.
