NAME

6       db_to_html_table - convert db to an HTML table
7

SYNOPSIS

9           db_to_html_table [-g N] <source.fsdb >dest.html
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Covert an existing dbtable to an HTML table.  The output is a fragment
13       of an HTML page; we assume the user fills in the rest (head and body,
14       etc.).
15
16       Input is fsdb format.
17
18       Output is HTML code (not fsdb), with HTML-specific characters (less
19       than, greater than, ampersand) are escaped.  (The fsdb-1.x version
20       assumed input was ISO-8859-1; we now assume both input and output are
21       unicode.  This change is considered a feature of the 21st century.)
22

OPTIONS

24       -g N or <--group-count N>
25           Color groups of N consecutive rows with one background color.
26
27       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
28
29       -d  Enable debugging output.
30
31       -i or --input InputSource
32           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
33           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
34           objects.
35
36       -o or --output OutputDestination
37           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
38           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
39           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
40
41       --autorun or --noautorun
42           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
43           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
44           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
45
46       --help
47           Show help.
48
49       --man
50           Show full manual.
