DESCRIPTION
The program
html2ps
converts one or more HTML files to PostScript. If no filename is given,
html2ps reads from standard input. If more than one file is specified,
they will be concatenated.
The current version does not support in-line images, the <ISINDEX> tag and
<FORM> with associated tags.
OPTIONS
- -a
-
Do not interpret nested highlighting tags additively. For example
"<B><I>some text</I></B>" will normally produce bold italic text.
With the -a option, the text will be italic but not bold (only the innermost
tag is interpreted).
- -C
-
Check the syntax of the HTML file (using an external syntax checker).
No PostScript code is generated. The default is to not make a syntax check.
- -c
-
Like the -C option, but PostScript code is also generated.
If you use this option, you may also have to use the -o option, to avoid
getting the syntax checker output mixed with the PostScript code.
- -cw program
-
Specifies which
program
the HTML syntax should be checked with. The default is to use weblint.
- -f font
-
The
font
used for normal text. The default font is n (NewCenturySchlbk).
Other choices are t (Times), h (Helvetica), hn (Helvetica-Narrow),
p (Palatino), a (AvantGarde) and b (Bookman). New fonts can easily be added.
- -F
-
Draw a frame around the text on each page. The default is to not draw a frame.
- -hn scalefactor
-
Scale the text in headers of level
n
(1..6) with a factor
scalefactor.
The default is 1.
- -im text
-
Specifies which
text
should be written as a replacement for in-line images, when the <IMG> tag has
no ALT attribute. The default text is "[IMAGE]".
- -L
-
Generate code for printing in landscape mode. The default is portrait mode.
- -l length
-
The maximum
length
of the text on each page in centimeters. The default is 23 cm in portrait mode,
15 cm in landscape mode.

Write the PostScript code to
file.
The default is to write to standard output.
- -p scalefactor
-
Scale preformatted text with a factor
scalefactor.
The default is 1.

-
Scale the entire document with a factor
scalefactor.
The default is 1.

of the text in headers of level

(1..6). Possible choices are n (normal), b (bold), i (italic), bi (bold

italic). The default is b for all header levels.
- -TM size
-
The
size
of the top margin in centimeters. The default is 3 cm. Note: To get the size
of the top margin correct (when printing in portrait mode on other than the A4
paper size), you must also give the -PS option.
