TROFF2HTML(1) TROFF2HTML(1) -

-
-

NAME
- -
- - troff2html – convert troff output into HTML
- -
-

SYNOPSIS
- -
- - troff2html [ −t title ] [ file ... ]
- -
-

DESCRIPTION
- -
- - Troff2html reads the troff(1) output in the named files, default - standard input, and converts them into HTML. -
- - Troff2html does a tolerable job with straight troff output, but - it is helped by annotations, described below. Its main use is - for man2html (see Plan 9’s httpd(8)), which converts man(1) pages - into HTML and depends on a specially annotated set of man(6) macros, - invoked by troff −manhtml. -
- - Troff output lines beginning
- -
- - x X html ...
- -
- - -
- which are introduced by placing \X'html ...' in the input, cause - the rest of the line to be interpolated into the HTML produced. - Several such lines are recognized specially by troff2html. The - most important are the pair
- -
- - x X html manref start cp 1 - x X html manref end cp 1 - - - - -
- which are used to create HTML hyperlinks around text of the form - cp(1) pointing to /magic/man2html/1/cp. -
- - Troff2html is new and experimental; in time, it may improve and - subsume ms2html(1). On the one hand, because it uses the input, - ms2html can handle pic(1), eqn(1), etc., which troff2html does - not handle at all; on the other hand, ms2html understands only - ms(6) documents and is easily confused by complex - troff constructions. Troff2html has the reverse properties: it - does not handle the preprocessors but its output is reliable and - (modulo helper annotations) is independent of macro package.

BUGS
- -
- - Troff and HTML have different models, and they don’t mesh well - in all cases. Troff’s indented paragraphs are not well served - in HTML, and the output of troff2html shows this.
