GFDL Visualization Guide: maker2html

Usage: maker2html [<options>] <input mif/frame file> [<output html file>]

 Options:
  -a            Annotate paragraph tags in the html. Useful on the first pass.
  -A            Disable Autonumbering of Paragraphs.
  -b #RGB       Set background color, in RGB hex format. If no number is given
                 the defaults is white (#FFFFFF). 
  -c '<string>' Type of ps->gif conversion to use (alchemy or imagemagick).
                 Default is imagemagick.
  -C            Disable compression of MIF and Postscript Files.  Saves time
                 while modifying the HTML files. 
  -d            Enable debug/verbose mode.
  -f            Force overwrite of MIF and Postscript files in the install 
                 directory. Otherwise, if the local MIF files postdate the 
                 original, then the local versions are used.
  -g            Force overwrite of GIF images.  Otherwise, if GIFS of the
                 same name are found, new ones wont be made.  This is to
                 save time since GIF generation takes the longest.
  -G            Make gifs non-transparent.
  -h            Print this help file.              
  -i            Make linked images (i.e. thumbnails) -- leave graphics original
                 size, and link to a larger version, scaled by "-s <num>".
  -I            Do NOT inline images. Always put images on a separate line.
  -m <num>      Scan the input and/or mappings files, report, and quit.
                  num = 1  :  Frame -> Generic mappings
                  num = 2  :  Generic -> HTML mappings
                  num = 3  :  Frame -> HTML mappings
  -M            Do NOT include a link to the original MIF File.
  -N            Disable advanced HTML features (ie. netscape-savvy):
                  1. Creates HTML tables, instead of gifs.
                  2. Use sub/super script native fonts, rather than gifs.
  -p            Create postscript of document, and include link at bottom.
  -P <num>      Create GIFs of the first "num" pages.  This is for graphics
                 pages at the beginning of documents. The -p option is implied.
  -r            Return URL. Defaults to "../"
  -s <num>      Scale gifs by num times.  Default is 1x.  Should be reduced for
                 full size graphics.
  -S            Disable usage of gifs for subscript and superscript characters.
  -t '<string>' Give title to HTML. Defaults to first paragraph of document.
  -T '<string>' For the title of the HTML, use the FIRST paragraph of the
                 paragraph style "string", rather than the first paragraph
                 of any type.
  -v <num>      Version of FrameMaker you are using: 3, 4, or 5. Default is 4

  Note:
    1. If no output file is given, then it defaults to the input file name
        with .html appended to it.
    2. Any graphics within an anchored frame will be converted to a gif and
        stored locally.  Unanchored graphics will not be converted.
    3. For pages with multiple text flows, you may need to modify the final
        HTML file, as the frames may get processed out of order.
    4. Dithering is only used when the "-b" or "-G" option is set.  It
        greatly improves the quality of the images.
    5. Makes sure you run this program in the installation directory.
