hl2html

A Perl program to convert a Mosaic hotlist file to an HTML document.


Usage

hl2html is invoked from a Unix shell, with the following syntax:

% hl2html [options] < hotlistfile > htmlfile

hl2html reads a hotlist file from STDIN and outputs an HTML document to STDOUT.

The following options are available to hl2html:

-dates
Print the dates the hotlist items were created along with the title in the HTML document.
-help
A short usage message on sorthl.
-strip
Strip off leading "The", "A", or "An" words from hotlist titles.
-title string
Set the title of the HTML document to string. Defaults to "Hotlist".

The resulting HTML file has an sorted list of the hotlist titles in a <UL> tag that are hyperlinks to the URL of the hotlist item. The titles are sorted with case-insensitivity, and leading "The", "A", or "An" words are ignored during the sort.
