CHORD2HTML(1)                                                    CHORD2HTML(1)


NAME

       chord2html - Convert CHORD files to HTML


SYNOPSIS

       chord2html [-d dirname] [-h] [-l] [-n] [-o filename] [-q] [-s filename]
       [-T format] [-t] [-V] [-v] input_file


DESCRIPTION

       chord2html converts CHORD input files (the .chopro files in OLGA) to
       HTML formatted files. The HTML files are similar to the PostScript
       documents produced by CHORD; chord2html reads a text file containing
       the lyrics and chords of a song to produce a page with chord names
       above the words and a graphical representation of the chords at the end
       of the song.


OPTIONS

       -d dirname
           Set the directory where chord images will be stored. If the
           directory doesn't exist, it will be created. The default is the
           current directory.

       -h  Show a brief description of the available command line options.

       -l  Print lyrics only.

       -n  Don't overwrite chord image files that already exist.

       -o filename
           Set the output filename. If not specified, the output will be
           written in stdout.

       -q  Quiet mode (don't print warnings).

       -s filename
           Set a cascading style sheet file name. If not specified,
           "chord2html.css" will be used.

       -T format
           Set the image format for the generated chord grids. Valid formats
           are gif for Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) images and png for
           Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images. If not specified, PNG
           images will be generated.

       -t  Add a timestamp line at the end of the generated page.

       -V  Print the version number and exit.

       -v  Run in verbose mode.


BUGS

       Multi-song chopro files are not correctly parsed.


NOTES

       The HTML file generated by chord2html uses tables to align chord names
       and words using proportional fonts, so it will not work with text
       browsers that don't handle tables (it works fine with recent versions
       of lynx).
