Hi,

The new version of my text to html converter has undergone major
improvements. According to WEblint I corrected the HTML it
produced. In addition lots of new options were added to make
using batch mode easier.

Especially handly is the new document split feature, which can divide
big text file into smaller files. Eg, if you're going to make
a slide presentation, just split the doc according to toplevel
headings and print each partial(=slide) to the printr.

This is my tool with which I manage all my faqs and Web pages:
Handling 560K+ Procmail Faq is breaaze, I assure you.

Take a look:

ftp://cs.uta.fi/pub/ssjaaa/t2html.html

I've atteched 10% of the manpage below for reference.

Cheers!
jari
