# apertium-deshtml-alt(1)

HTML format processor for Apertium with alt-translation

## NAME

**apertium-deshtml-alt** – HTML format processor for Apertium with alt-translation

## SYNOPSIS

**apertium-deshtml-alt** \[**-hino**\] \[*input\_file* \[*output\_file*\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of *the* *Apertium* *open-source* *machine* *translation* *toolbox:* **https://apertium.org/**.

**apertium-deshtml-alt** is an HTML format processor. Data should be passed through this processor before being piped to [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md). The program takes input in the form of an HTML document and produces output suitable for processing with [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md). HTML tags and other format information are enclosed in brackets so that [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md) treats them as whitespace between words. Unlike [apertium-deshtml(1)](/apertium-deshtml/1.md) it unwraps the alt-attribute of images, letting the alt-text be translated.

## OPTIONS

## EXAMPLES

```
echo "<b>gener</b><img alt="gener"/>" | apertium-deshtml-alt | lt-proc ca-es.automorf.bin
```
