What's new

    Faster and Cleaner HTML code generation.

        The HTML markup code was completely rewritten and the
        --html-column-color option was made obsolete. Colours are now coming
        from CSS.

        This version now generates HTML 2x faster, eg. my 600k Procmail
        faq PAGE now takes 33secs on HP-UX, where it used to take 70secs.

    HTML 4.0 CSS now supported

        The generated html contains default HTML 4.x CSS (Cascading Style
        Sheet) information which you can easily modify. The new CSS takes
        advantage of some nice MSIE "hoovering" of links to make HTML
        pages more responsive.

        You can import your own CSS or Jave code with --java-file switch.

How it works

        Text must be placed at certain column positions to enable proper
        html formatting. The style used is called Technical format (TF).
        You're looking at TF format right now. TF specification is included
        in the t2html.pl --help.

        You need nothing else but a text editor where the current column
        number is displayed or editor that advances your TAB by 4 spaces.
        That's it.

Emacs and minor mode for helping to write TF

        If word `Emacs' means anything to you, then you can use additional
        Emacs minor mode (package TinyTf.el) that I wrote especially to
        help writing documents, formatting paragraphs, auto filling bullets
        and keeping TOC up to date. The description of the Emacs package is
        added to the page. If you don't know about Emacs but got
        interested, then see these for more Emacs info:

            ftp://cs.uta.fi/pub/ssjaaa/tiny-tools.tar.gz  (contains tinytf.el)
