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.
