Converting HTML to other formats – a useful links provided by the w3. among them is a link to a utility called html2ps, a perl script to convert html to postscript. apparently, once upon a time netscape actually had a cgi version running alon called the “mozilla print gidget,” but now all that’s left of that is a bunch of dead links.
more converter/ps stuff:
- html converters and templates – even more
- html to postscript converters – 3 different links
- postscript & ghostscript resources – some really neat stuff, including ps resizing and other psutils
- richard’s ps junk page – lots of resources, links, and summary of all kinds of ps stuff. a good place to start.
- a first guide ot postscript and the postscript introduction also look like good guides that i’ll have to go through in depth more later. the direct postscript faq answers my question of the difference between ps levels.
What is the difference between PostScript Levels 1, 2, and 3?
Level 2 is an extension of the original Level 1 commands. Most of the additions are to do with colour printing; sophisticated methods of manipulating fonts and graphics; printer operators; or Display PostScript instructions for NeXT computers. All PostScript printers are supposed to be backwardly compatible, although some Level 1 commands have degenerated into Level 2 jargon, so that, for example, `manual feed true’ has been transmogrified into `2 setpapertray’. A recent development, called PostScript 3, integrates PostScript, the Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format, and the creation of Web pages into one progamming language.
imagemagick‘s convert tools are also good for converting pretty much anything to anything…
