NAME

commands2html - simple command interpreter that outputs HTML

SYNOPSIS

commands2html [OPTION..] FILE [OPTION..]

DESCRIPTION

Execute the commands listed in given .commands file and output to a .html_snippet file, in a format that appears that the commands were run at a sh prompt.

The commands are executed with the current directory set to the directory containing the input .commands file.

The generated HTML snippet is a PRE block, intended for inclusion in an HTML page. Use of the options can output other bits of relevant HTML.

The generated .html_snippet (or .html, depending on options used) file is overwritten if it already exists.
