- HTML Markdown 1.0
- ©1995 by Scott J. Kleper
- ------------------------
-
- HTML Markdown is a program I whipped up in two days that removes the HTML
- tags from a text file. HTML is the format used for the creation of World
- Wide Web home pages. HTML uses "Markup" tags to embed commands within a
- text file. HTML Markdown simply removes those tags.
-
- Why would you want to do this? Several reasons. Many people who don't have
- the advantage of a SLIP account or direct connection are forced to use
- text-based WWW browsers like Lynx. Lynx is a great program, but if you want
- to save a page to disk, Lynx also saves all the source. HTML Markdown is
- also a good way to keep a hardcopy of your Web page. Most browsers can print
- pages, but they also print all the graphics, which you may not want. If you
- have another use of HTML Markdown that I haven't come up with yet, please
- contact me at the email address below.
-
- To use HTML Markdown, just drag and drop any HTML files you want to convert
- onto the HTML Markdown icon. The program will automatically create a text
- file for each HTML file. HTML Markdown will prompt you for the name of the
- new file, with the current name as a default. Currently, HTML Markdown cannot
- be run as a regular application - just as a drag and drop program.
-
- HTML Markdown may be distributed free of charge on public bulletin boards,
- FTP sites, and CD-ROMs. For the latter, I request that I be notified before
- my work is included on any CD-ROM. When distributing, the program must not
- be modified in any way and must include this file. Users are free to use
- HTML Markdown as much as they want for no charge. However, if you find this
- program useful and use it regularly, I request that you send a $5 check to:
-
- Scott J. Kleper
- 134 Caversham Woods
- Pittsford, NY 14534
-
- Registering HTML Markdown in this manner will entitle you to future upgrades,
- a personalized copy of the current version, and personal satisfaction of
- registering shareware.
