# rem2html(1)

Convert the output of "remind -pp" or "remind -ppp" to HTML

## NAME

rem2html - Convert the output of "remind -pp" or "remind -ppp" to HTML

## SYNOPSIS

```
    remind -ppp [remind_options] file | rem2html [options]
    remind -pp [remind_options] file | rem2html [options]
```

You can also use the old interchange format as below, but the -pp or -ppp versions are preferred.

```
    remind -p [remind_options] file | rem2html [options]
```

## OPTIONS

- \--help, -h

  Print usage information

- \--version

  Print version

- \--utf8

  Assume standard input is encoded in UTF-8; write UTF-8 data to standard output.

- \--backurl *url*

  When producing the small calendar for the previous month, make the month name a link to *url*.

- \--forwurl *url*

  When producing the small calendar for the next month, make the month name a link to *url*.

- \--imgbase *url*

  When creating URLs for the stylesheet or external images, use *url* as the base URL.

- \--pngs

  Normally, rem2html uses inline "data:" URLs for the moon phase images, yielding a standalone HTML file.  The `"--pngs"` option makes it use external images named firstquarter.png, fullmoon.png, lastquarter.png and newmoon.png, which are expected to live in `"--imgbase"`.

- \--stylesheet *url.css*

  Use *url.css* as the stylesheet.  If this option is used, *url.css* is interpreted relative to **imgbase** *unless* it starts with a "/".

- \--nostyle

  Produce basic HTML that does not use a CSS stylesheet.

- \--tableonly

  Output results as a \<table\> ... \</table\> sequence only without any \<html\> or \<body\> tags.

- \--title *title*

  Use *title* as the content between \<title\> and \</title\> tags.

- \--prologue *html\_text*

  Insert *html\_text* right after the \<body\> tag.

- \--epilogue *html\_text*

  Insert *html\_text* right before the \</body\> tag.

## SPECIALS SUPPORTED

The rem2html back-end supports the following SPECIAL reminders:

- HTML

  Add an HTML reminder to the calendar.  All HTML tags are available.

- HTMLCLASS

  Add a CSS class to the box representing the trigger date.  See "HIGHLIGHTING TODAY" for an example

- WEEK, MOON, SHADE, COLOR

  The standard SPECIALs supported by all back-ends

## INFO STRINGS SUPPORTED

Rem2html supports one INFO string, namely `"Url"`.  Its value should be a URL.  If the `"Url"` INFO string is supplied for a normal reminder, a COLOR special, a MOON special or a WEEK special, the corresponding output is turned into a hyperlink.

## HIGHLIGHTING TODAY

Older versions of rem2html used to highlight today's date with a red outline. The current version does not do that by default.  If you wish to highlight today's date, add the following reminder to your reminders file:

```
    REM [realtoday()] SPECIAL HTMLCLASS rem-today
```
