html-pretty (or htmlpty on file systems with unpleasant filename length restrictions) is a prettyprinter for HTML and SGML. It can also assist in the conversion of ordinary text files in ASCII or ISO8859-1 character sets to HTML.

There is extensive documentation on the program in the UNIX manual pages, which are provided in the distribution in nroff / troff form, in ASCII form, in TeX DVI form, in PostScript form, in PDF form, and in HTML form. The SEE ALSO section of the manual pages contains pointers to sources of HTML and SGML software and bibliographic data.

Details on building, testing, and installing the program are in the INSTALL file, but on many UNIX systems, all that it takes is a one-line command:

     ./configure && make all check install

Comments, questions, and bug reports should be addressed to the author at the address above.

The master distribution with the current, and a few past, versions of html-pretty can be always be found at

    ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/sgml/htmlpty-x.yy.*

in a variety of distribution formats; x.yy is the major and minor version number.
