# htmlmake.sh: Convert tab-separated data table of authors and titles into an
# html file.
# This program is released under the GNU GPL, which may be found at
# www.gnu.org. The version it is released under is the one current on the date
# June 8, 2000. Written by skiprosebaugh@email.com. Sorry that the comments are
# longer than the program.
# Usage: htmlmake.sh < datafile > books.html
# It is also possible to use this in a pipe:
# collate.py datafile1 datafile2 | htmlmake.sh > books.html
# It will likely be more useful in combination with collate.py
# If you want to make the script work like this:
# htmlmake.sh datafile > books.html
# then insert ${1} right between the sort and the | on the first line.
