Re: HTML to PS: No netscape here

Hope you are having a good vacation, Ed.

Here's where I am at at the moment:

I think, now, that using a browser to pre-process the HTML source is
wrong. Too many browsers that can change at any time.

The first stage in the program should turn the HTML source into HTML 2.0
(or whatever HTML stage/"tagset" the printed page can support) and
the second stage should convert that to ps or pdf.

I'm using an app called htmldoc at the moment, and it is pretty good:
