DESCRIPTION
The grohtml front end (which consists of a preprocessor,
pre-grohtml, and a device driver, post-grohtml) 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
filename 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 support 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/num-
ber heading is found. Without the option the anchor
value is the textual heading. This can cause problems
when a heading contains 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 cor-
respond to the html base size. Every increase of two
points in the source will yield a <big> tag, and con-
versely 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 (ver-
sion 9.16 or greater) will work also. It is also dependent
upon psselect from the PSUtils package. Images are gener-
ated whenever a table, picture, equation or line is encoun-
tered.
BUGS
Grohtml has been completely redesigned and rewritten. It is
still beta code.
