Make MEMO files into HTML documents
HTML is the language of the Internet, and your palmtop can be a big player in the game. Today there are many WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editors available for the big and powerful desktop systems, like Windows 95 and Windows NT.
These programs are like word processors or page layout programs, except that they create documents in HTML format to be displayed on the Internet.
However, there has been no such powerful program for our palmtops. Now there is a program called DOCHTML n by Vivek Venugopalan (e-mail: vivek. venugopalan @usa.net) that converts an HP 200LX's MEMO file to a HTML file that can be directly published on the Web.
DOCHTML version 1.0 is a simple command line DOS application that was designed to run on the HP 100/200LX. You can use the formatting functions available in MEMO. DOCHTML will then translate them to their HTML equivalent.
Additionally, HTML tags can be embedded in the DOC file (they are also embedded into the HTML file). There is no validation performed on any embedded HTML tags.
DOCHTML reads a MEMO .DOC file and generates a new HTML file from it. To use DOCHTML, go to the DOS prompt and type dochtml (memofile) (htmlfile). For example, if you wanted to convert a MEMO file named WEBPAGE.DOC to an HTML document you would type:
dochtml webpage.doc web page.htm
and then press return. You would now have an HTML document that can be read by any browser.
