Cygwin, due to Windows' lack of true symbolic links). + Modified the wrappers to use 'pandoc' instead of the symlinks. + Modified the Makefile to remove all references to the symlinks. + Removed code from Main.hs that made pandoc's behavior depend on the name of the calling program. + Added code to Main.hs that sets default reader and writer based on extensions of input and output filenames (if provided). (Thanks to roktas for the idea.) + Modified README and man pages accordingly. + Removed WINDOWS-README target from Makefile. It is no longer needed now that we don't have the symlinks. git-svn-id: https://pandoc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@295 788f1e2b-df1e-0410-8736-df70ead52e1b

.TH WEB2MARKDOWN 1 "December 15, 2006" Pandoc "User Manuals"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
web2markdown \- converts HTML to markdown-formatted text
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBweb2markdown\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIinput\-file\fR or \fIURL\fR]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBweb2markdown\fR converts \fIinput\-file\fR or \fIURL\fR (or text
|
|
from STDIN) from HTML to markdown\-formatted plain text.
|
|
If a URL is specified, \fBweb2markdown\fR uses an available program
|
|
(e.g. wget, w3m, lynx or curl) to fetch its contents. Output is sent
|
|
to STDOUT unless an output file is specified using the \fB\-o\fR
|
|
option.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBweb2markdown\fR uses the character encoding specified in the
|
|
"Content-type" meta tag. If this is not present, or if input comes
|
|
from STDIN, UTF-8 is assumed. A character encoding may be specified
|
|
explicitly using the \fB\-e\fR option.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBweb2markdown\fR is a wrapper for \fBpandoc\fR.
|

.TP
|
|
.B \-p, \-\-preserve-tabs
|

|
|

\fB\-s\fR.
|

.TP
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C \fIFILE\fB, \-\-custom-header=\fIFILE\fB
|
|
Use contents of \fIFILE\fR
|
|
as the document header (overriding the default header, which can be
|
|
printed using '\fBpandoc \-D markdown\fR'). Implies
|
|
\fB-s\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v, \-\-version
|
|
Print version.
|
|
.TP

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-e \fIencoding\fR
|
|
Assume the character encoding \fIencoding\fR in reading HTML.
|
|
(Note: \fIencoding\fR will be passed to \fBiconv\fR; a list of
|
|
available encodings may be obtained using `\fBiconv \-l\fR'.)
|
|
If the \fB\-e\fR option is not specified and input is not from
|
|
STDIN, \fBweb2markdown\fR will try to extract the character encoding
|
|
from the "Content-type" meta tag. If no character encoding is
|
|
specified in this way, or if input is from STDIN, UTF-8 will be
|
|
assumed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-g \fIcommand\fR
|
|
Use \fIcommand\fR to fetch the contents of a URL. (By default,
|
|
\fBweb2markdown\fR searches for an available program or text-based
|
|
browser to fetch the contents of a URL.) For example:
|
|
.IP
|
|
web2markdown \-g 'wget \-\-user=foo \-\-password=bar' mysite.com
