NAME
html2stx - convert HTML documents into Stx
SYNOPSIS
html2stx [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
html2stx takes the given file, which should contain an HTML document,
and converts it to structured text (Stx). If no file is given,
standard input is read instead.
The program does not attempt to convert every possibly convertible
piece of markup into Stx. For example, <font> tags are simply ignored.
This tends to result in a nice, clean, beautiful document. (If it
doesn’t, the source document probably does not contain enough
information to start with.)
OPTIONS
None.
DIAGNOSTICS
html2stx is a python script and will throw an exception if something
goes amiss. In this case, the return value will be non-zero.

BUGS
· The word wrapping algorithm is probably not very clever.
· Sometimes there are extra linebreaks in the output.
· Probably many others.
