HTMLROFF(1) HTMLROFF(1)
NAME
htmlroff - HTML formatting and typesetting
SYNOPSIS
htmlroff [ -iuv ] [ -m name ] [ -r aN ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Htmlroff accepts troff(1) input in the named files and for-
mats it as HTML for viewing in a web browser.
If no file argument is given, htmlroff reads the standard
input. An argument consisting of a single minus (-) is
taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input.
The options are:
-i Read standard input after the input files are
exhausted.
-mname
Process the macro file /sys/lib/tmac/tmac.name before
the input files.
-raN Set register a (one character name) to N.
-u Generate UTF output. By default, htmlroff converts
Unicode runes into the corresponding HTML entity
sequences (α, , and so on). Htmlroff
invokes tcs(1) for the conversion.
-v Generate debugging output and warnings about suspicious
input.
Most troff input files, especially those using the ms(6)
macros, can be used unaltered. In general, the macro file
tmac.html should be processed after processing other stan-
dard macro files, as in htmlroff -ms -mhtml.
Htmlroff(6) describes the changes to the input language.
Mhtml(6) describes the new macros.
