NAME

ms2html, html2ms − convert between troff’s ms macros and html

SYNOPSIS

­ms2html [ ­-q ] [ ­-b ­basename ] [ ­-d ­delims ] [ ­-t ­title ]
­html2ms

DESCRIPTION

­Ms2html converts the ms(6) source on standard input into HTML and prints it to standard output. If the source contains tbl(1) or eqn input, you must first pipe the text through those preprocessors.  Postscript images, equations, and tables will be converted to gif files.  If the document has a ­.TL entry, its contents will be used as the title; otherwise ­ms2html will look for a ­._T macro, unknown to ms(6), and take its value. Options are:

qsuppresses warnings about malformed input;

bsets the HTML base name to basename;

dsets the eqn(1) delimiters to delim;

tsets the HTML title to title.

­Html2ms reads HTML from standard input and converts it to ms(6) source on standard output.

Html2ms doesn’t understand html tables.
