From srainwater@ncc.com Tue Jul 25 11:15:39 1995 Article: 6822 of comp.infosystems.www.announce From: srainwater@ncc.com (Steve Rainwater) Subject: SOFTWARE: OS/2 utility converts FAQs to HTML Date: Sun, 23 Jul 95 01:55:02 GMT-1:00 Organization: Network Cybernetics Corporation ftp://ftp.ncc.com/pub/os2/faq2html.zip A new OS/2 freeware program is available that will convert FAQ files that are in standard minimal digest format into HTML. The program will also work on non-standard FAQs and other ASCII files to some extent. Among the features: - URLs (http://, ftp://, etc) can be converted to working links. - Email addresses can be converted to MAILTO links - You can select to translate character strings into HTML code (i.e., if you have items in your document that are delimited by "*" characters used as bullets, the program can convert them into bullet icons.) - If your document follows the minimal-digest-format you can provide specific pieces of HTML code to wrap various sections of the document (i.e., the header should be big characters, the table of contents should be preformatted text, etc.) - FAQs in minimal-digest-format can have horizontal rules or any other HTML code you provide as section dividers between topics. - You can choose to include or leave out any of the minimal-digest-format sections such as the Usenet headers or the digest trailer. - The items in the table of contents will be hypertext linked to the associated subject lines in the FAQ (again, this works only if your FAQ is in standard format!). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Network Cybernetics Corporation | http://www.ncc.com/ncc/ | | Publisher of CD-ROM titles on AI, | ftp://ftp.ncc.com/pub/ | | VR, Astronomy, and other cool stuff | mailto:info@ncc.com | --
