Python for OpenVMS
This procedure is
used to convert all '.HTML' files to the final documentation formats:
- '.LNI'
- This file is for ANSI printer output. Bold printing is controlled
using ANSI sequences.
- '.MEM'
- This file is for line printer output. Bold printing is controlled
via carriage control and double printing.
It is then converted to:
- '.TXT'
- This file is for viewing with a text editor or printing without
bold characters from a non-VMS system.
CVT_DOC.COM calls the
following procedures:
- CVT__HTML.COM
- convert '.HTML' files to '.RNO' files
- CVT__RNO.COM
- convert '.RNO' files to the final 3 files explained above.
Conversion from HTML to RUNOFF can take some time on a slow machine. One can run
CVT__HTML.COM parallel to an edit session and have all new files converted while
editing a new one. CVT__HTML.COM will check creation dates and only convert new
HTML files. After the last '.HTML' file was changed the programmer can run
CVT_DOC.COM and conversion will only be done for files where it is necessary.
Format:
$ @CVT_DOC ["*"]
Arguments:
- P1, optional
- An asterisk ("*") is passed to CVT__HTML.COM
and means that all files will be translated whether the '.RNO' file is
current or not.
