fedora
Calendar Grey August 31, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
This Debian 10 enhancement resolves scanf bugs and mitigates FTBFS, improving pdf2html reliability and safety.
Fix scanf issues found by Gentoo

Summary

HTMLDOC converts HTML source files into indexed HTML, PostScript, or

Portable Document Format (PDF) files that can be viewed online or

printed. With no options a HTML document is produced on stdout.

The second form of HTMLDOC reads HTML source from stdin, which allows

you to use HTMLDOC as a filter.

The third form of HTMLDOC launches a graphical interface that allows

you to change options and generate documents interactively.

Update Information:

Fix scanf issues found by Gentoo. Fix FTBFS on Fedora 12.
