HTMLDOC 1.8.27 Software Users Manual

Overview

While HTMLDOC can convert web pages into PostScript and PDF files, its real strength is generating indexed HTML, PostScript, or PDF books.

HTMLDOC uses HTML heading elements to delineate chapters and headings in a book. The H1 element is used for chapters:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
	<TITLE>The Little Computer that Could</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H1>Chapter 1 - The Little Computer is Born</H1>
    ...
    <H1>Chapter 2 - Little Computer's First Task</H1>
    ...
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

Sub-headings are marked using the H2 through H6 elements.

Note:

When using book mode, HTMLDOC starts rendering with the first H1 element. Any text, images, tables, and other viewable elements that precede the first H1 element are silently ignored. Because of this, make sure you have an H1 element in your HTML file, otherwise HTMLDOC will not convert anything.
