HTML to PostScript converter Maintained by:girgen@FreeBSD.org Port Added: unknown Also Listed In:wwwperl5
- Much from HTML 4.0 - that is relevant for printing - is supported
(incidentally, the PostScript and PDF versions of the HTML 4.0 draft,
were generated using html2ps). For example, all character entities
(except ‌, ‍, ‎, and ‏) are supported.
- Many possibilities to control the appearance. Starting with this version,
this is mostly done using configuration files.
- Support for processing multiple documents, also automatically by
recursively following links.
- A table of contents can be generated, either from the links in a document,
or automatically from document headings.
- Configurable page headers/footers, that for example can contain
document title, URL, page number, current heading, and date.
- When converting the PostScript document to PDF - using some other
program such as version 5.0 or later of Aladdin Ghostscript, or
Adobe Acrobat Distiller - the original hyperlinks in the HTML
documents will be retained in the PDF document.
- Automatic hyphenation and text justification can be selected.

Remove print/ghostscript-afpl as it has been replaced by print/ghostscript-gpl
since version 8.57. The leading ghostscript is the -gpl one.

Fix dependencies, too many build_deps and not enough run_deps.
Deducing info from the program's website, it will need Perl,
ImageMagick, libwww-perl and ghostscript, nothing more, nothing less.
Also, take on maintainership.

ImageMagick is needed at run time also:
Can't locate Image/Magick.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/BSDPAN
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 .) at
/usr/local/bin/html2ps line 482.
- update port to new version 1.0b3 => bump PORTREVISION (forgotten by Roman
;-) - Changed maintainer to ports, I want to reduce my personal workload.
Maybe I take over again in the future if I have more time for this.
