# A somewhat-generalized FAQ-to-HTML converter (by Ka-Ping Yee, 10 Sept 96)
|
|
|
|
# Reads a text file given on standard input or named as first argument, and
|
|
# generates HTML 2.0 on standard output. Recognizes these constructions:
|
|
#
|
|
# HTML element pattern at the beginning of a line
|
|
#
|
|
# section heading (<number><period>)+<space>
|
|
# numbered list element <1-2 spaces>(<number><period>)+<space>
|
|
# unnumbered list element <0-2 spaces><hyphen or asterisk><space>
|
|
# preformatted section <more than two spaces>
|
|
#
|
|
# Heading level is determined by the number of (<number><period>) segments.
|
|
# Blank lines force a separation of elements; if none of the above four
|
|
# types is indicated, a new paragraph begins. A line beginning with many
|
|
# spaces is interpreted as a continuation (instead of preformatted) after
|
|
# a list element. Headings are anchored; paragraphs starting with "Q." are
|
|
# emphasized, and those marked with "A." get their first sentence emphasized.
|
|
#
|
|
# Hyperlinks are created from references to:
|
|
# URLs, explicitly marked using <URL:scheme://host...>
|
|
# other questions, of the form "question <number>(<period><number>)*"
|
|
# sections, of the form "section <number>".
