I have a C prog that I've been using privingly for 11 years that does this and more, but what what I'm thinkg of is a script that would take a posted script and using the KEYWORDS of, say: "CATEORY: foo "FUNCTION: it_does_this "OPTIONS: can_do_this_or_that" BEGINSCRIPT !#/bin/sh echo "hello world" ENDSCRIPT and generate am HTML file like:
Function
This script does: "it does this"

Options
This script "can do this or that" using flags "-a" "-b" "-c" 


	!#/bin/sh
	echo "hello world"

In most things I agree with the KISS philosophy: "Keep it simple, Sir". This is my off-the-top-of-my-head idea; I'm sure most of you guys are better at shell and-or HTML hacking and have better ideas. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
