postconf2html   [plain text]

#!/usr/bin/perl

# postconf2html - add HTML paragraphs

# Basic operation:
#
# - Process input as text blocks separated by one or more empty
# (or all whitespace) lines.
#
# - Skip text between <!-- and -->; each must be on a different line.
#
# - Don't touch blocks that start with `<' in column zero.
#
# The only changes made are:
#
# - Emit "<DT><a name="parametername">parametername</a>...</DT><DD>" at
#   the top of each parameter description.
#
# All other non-comment input is flagged as an error.
