NAME

aecat − display an aewan document

SYNOPSIS

aecat [-b] [-c] [-{n|N}] [{-p | -l <layer_num>}] [-f <format>] [-o <output_file>] inputfile

DESCRIPTION

This is an utility program that will convert an aewan document to ANSI escape sequences so that it can be rendered on a standard terminal. Alternatively, it can also generate HTML code for displaying the document in a web page. Any particular layer of the document may be converted, or you may request a composite of all layers.

OPTIONS

−f

specifies output format - can "text", "html" or "comment". Default is "text". The "comment" format extracts document metadata.

−c

prepend a ’clear screen’ escape sequence (only valid when outputting text).

−o<file>

writes output to specified file rather than stdout

−b

disables output of color (only characters will be printed).

−l<layer_no>

specifies which layer of the document is to be used (must be an index, not a layer name). By default, layer 0 will be used.

−L

displays the number of layers in the file.

−p

exports a composite, that is, overlays all visible layers, paying attention to layer transparency, etc. The size of the composite will be the size of the first layer

−n

suppress output of newlines

−h

prints a short help text
