GROHTML(1)                                                                                        GROHTML(1)



NAME
       grohtml - html driver for groff

SYNOPSIS
       grohtml [ -bhlnprv ] [ -aaa-text-bits ] [ -Ddir ] [ -Fdir ] [ -gaa-graphic-bits ] [ -iresolution ]
               [ -Iimage-stem ] [ -jfilename ] [ -oimage-vertical-offset ] [ -ssize ] [ -Slevel ]
               [ files... ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  grohtml front end (which consists of a preprocessor, pre-grohtml, and a device driver, post-gro-html) post-grohtml)
       html) translates the output of GNU troff to html.  Users should always invoke grohtml via  the  groff
       command  with a -Thtml option.  If no files are given, grohtml will read the standard input.  A file-name filename
       name of - will also cause grohtml to read the standard input.  Html output is written to the standard
       output.  When grohtml is run by groff options can be passed to grohtml using groff's -P option.

OPTIONS
       -aaa-text-bits
              Number of bits of antialiasing information to be used by text when generating png images.  The
              default is 4 but valid values are 0, 1, 2, and 4.  Note your version of gs  needs  to  support
              the  -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicAlphaBits options in order to exploit antialiasing.  A value
              of 0 stops grohtml from issuing antialiasing commands to gs.

       -b     Initialize the background color to white.

       -Ddir  Inform grohtml to place all image files into directory dir.

       -Fdir  Prepend directory dir/devname to the search path for font and device description  files;  name
              is the name of the device, usually html.

       -gaa-graphic-bits
              Number  of bits of antialiasing information to be used by graphics when generating png images.
              The default is 4 but valid values are 0, 1, 2, and 4.  Note your version of gs needs  to  sup-port support
              port  the  -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicAlphaBits options in order to exploit antialiasing.  A
              value of 0 stops grohtml from issuing antialiasing commands to gs.

       -h     Generate section and number headings by using <B>...</B> and increasing the font size,  rather
              than using the <Hn>...</Hn> tags.

       -iresolution
              Select the resolution for all images.  By default this is 100 pixels per inch.  Example: -i200
              indicates 200 pixels per inch.

       -Istem Determine the image stem name.  If omitted grohtml uses grohtml-XXX (XXX is the process ID).

       -jfilename
              Inform grohtml to split the html output into multiple files.  The filename  is  the  stem  and
              specified section headings (default is level one) start a new file, named filename-n.html.

       -l     Turn off the production of automatic section links at the top of the document.

       -n     Generate  simple  heading  anchors  whenever  a  section/number heading is found.  Without the
              option the anchor value is the textual heading.  This can cause problems when a  heading  con-tains contains
              tains  a `?' on older versions of some browsers (Netscape).  This flag is automatically turned
              on if a heading contains an image.

       -overtical-offset
              Specify the vertical offset of images in points.

       -p     Display page rendering progress to stderr.  grohtml only displays a page number when an  image
              is required.

       -r     Turn off the automatic header and footer line (html rule).

       -s size
              Set  the  base  point size of the source file.  Thereafter when this point size is used in the
              source it will correspond to the html base size.  Every increase of two points in  the  source
              will  yield a <big> tag, and conversely when a decrease of two points is seen a <small> tag is
              emitted.

       -Slevel
              When splitting html output, split at the heading level (or higher) defined by level.

       -v     Print the version number.

USAGE
       There are styles called R, I, B, and BI mounted at font positions 1 to 4.

DEPENDENCIES
       grohtml is dependent upon the  png  utilities  (pnmcut,  pnmcrop,  pnmtopng)  and  GhostScript  (gs).
       pnmtopng  (version  2.37.6  or  greater) and pnmcut from the netpbm package (version 9.16 or greater)
       will work also.  It is also dependent upon psselect from the PSUtils package.  Images  are  generated
       whenever a table, picture, equation or line is encountered.

BUGS
       Grohtml has been completely redesigned and rewritten.  It is still beta code.
