Synopsis
vt2html [options] [file name] vt2html --help vt2html --version
Description
This program does a crude conversion of a text file containing VT escape codes into HTML. Currently, only foreground and background colors and bold and underlining are supported by vt2html. This is more than enough to handle the output of hasc(1), for which it was written.
vt2html takes input from the file specified, or from the standard input if no file name was given on the command line. The output is sent to the standard output.
Options
- -h, --no-heading
By default vt2html produces a complete HTML file suitable for viewing in a browser, but with this option the heading and ending are missed off so that the output is just a
<PRE>block, which can then be inserted into an existing HTML file.- -H, --help
Give a brief description of what vt2html does, with a synopsis showing allowable options and their meaning.
- -V, --version
Print the name and version number of the program.
Bugs
It doesn't understand many VT codes.
Formating is cancelled at the end of each line.
The underlining support has not been tested. Nothing has been tested with anything other than the output of hasc and ls(1).
