1.5. REQUIREMENTS
=================

MS-DOS version:
IBM compatible PC with MS-DOS compatible environment.
(CONVTXT was tested on 486, Pentium and Pentium II PCs using different
configurations)

AmigaOS version:
Should run on all Amiga Systems.
(CONVTXT was tested on an Amiga 4000 with AmigaOS 3.x)

AmigaDE version:
Created with Amiga SDK 1.1



2. INSTALLATION
===============

No special installation required,given correctly working OS environment.
It may be an advantage to copy the programme to your  standard  commands
directory of your OS (e.g. MS-DOS:"C:\COMMAND", WIN:"C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND"
AmigaOS:"C:") to use it out of any directory under DOS. 
Rename the file "CONVHTML.AMI" to "CONVHTML" on AmigaOS computers first.

For AmigaDE:
At the moment, AmigaDE tools can only be compiled for one directory. :-(
Therefore you'll have to copy the file "convhtml.00" to "/app/stdio".




3. INTRODUCTION
===============

CONVHTML is a tool to support creation and administration of  HTML pages
using ordinary text editors.
CONVHTML can do the following things:
- ISO-Latin 1 char to HTML code conversion (not within tags)
- add <BR> before Linefeeds if no tag is in this line
- tags to upper/lower cases conversion (not within quotes(" "))





4. USAGE
========

 CONVHTML [input_file] [output_file] [TAGS MODE1] [TXT MODE2] [BR]

  MODE1 : NO = no conversion (std), LOWER, UPPER
  MODE2 : NO, GER = only german (fast), FULL = full ISO-Latin1 (std)
  BR    : if set => insert <br> before LF if no tag is in line


- with "CONVHTML ?" you can print this also on your screen


Some Remarks:
-------------

- At the moment CONVHTML is case sensitive. Inputs have to be exactly in
  upper or lower cases like displayed.

- The first two parameters have to be set. If not, CONVHTML will ask for
  them. They have to be in correct order. Other parameters don't have to
  be set, standart values will be taken.

- input_file and output_file may not be the same

- CONVHTML will NOT delete input_file after the operation

- if no parameters are set, CONVHTML will also ask for TAGS, TXT and BR 
  for convenient start from Windows (Workbench)
  
- Characters NOT to be converted into HTML code are e.g.: < , > , "
