   html_cfg.sh 0.0.3, (c) 2008 by Patrick Boylan
   not to be confused with cfg2html.pl .

   Version 2, or the new one if you prefer.  If you didn't get a copy of

   Again, this shouldn't be confused with Vlad Harchev's cfg2html.pl ,
   which produces much nicer HTML anyway.  My goals are different.  I
   wanted a set of hyperlinked config files which are easily navigated
   from within Lynx -- so, via the e)dit command, Lynx becomes its own
   best configuration editor.  You should be able to find the settings
   you want to change, and change them more easily this way.
 
   With that in mind, I wanted the results to look as similar as
   possible in a web browser or text editor.  The plaintext view might
   not be pretty, but I've tried to keep it legible.


   CHANGES:
      0.0.3 * I *think* it's a POSIX-compliant /bin/sh script now.
            * DOCTYPE declaration was omitted, because I wasn't sure
              what DTD to put it under.  WDG validator validates it
              now [except for those Lynx-specific TAB elements].
            * Uses separate for loops to generate the HTML pages and
              main index.  Adds some unnecessary reptition, but it
              should be easier to read.
            * Fixed some of those multi-line echoes, so they won't
              screw up the indentation [purely cosmetic; also for
              legibility].
 
      0.0.2 * Tried doing more in memory, less with temp-files, but
              that didn't seem to speed things up any.
            * Rearranged the `case "$foo" in' thing so the most likely
              possiblities are tested first.  Went from a five minute
              job to like, a minute on my old 233 mHz Compaq Armada.
            * Went back to mostly temp-files.
            * Commented the hell out of it.
 
      0.0.1 * You mean, it actually did something this time?  Whoah...

   my lap, thereby encouraging me to sit still for extended periods
