|  | 38 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | 
|  | 39 <p>Generate HTML file(s) from <em>TextFile(s)</em>. The HTML file(s) contain data tables and appropriate | 
|  | 40 navigational links to view other tables. These files can be generated for local viewing or | 
|  | 41 deployment on a web server. A variety of options are provided to control style and | 
|  | 42 appearence of tables.</p> | 
|  | 43 <p>Multiple <em>TextFile(s)</em> names are separated by spaces. The valid file extensions are <em>.csv</em> and | 
|  | 44 <em>.tsv</em> for comma/semicolon and tab delimited text files respectively. All other file names | 
|  | 45 are ignored. All the text files in a current directory can be specified by <em>*.csv</em>, | 
|  | 46 <em>*.tsv</em>, or the current directory name. The <strong>--indelim</strong> option determines the | 
|  | 47 format of <em>TextFile(s)</em>. Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated | 
|  | 48 by <strong>--indelim</strong> option is ignored.</p> |

|  | 180 <p>For <em>old</em> value, an existing stylesheet file specified by <strong>--stylesheetname</strong> option is | 
|  | 181 used for each HTML file; no new stylesheet file is created. This option is quite handy | 
|  | 182 for deploying HTML file(s) on a web server: assuming you specify a valid stylesheet | 
|  | 183 file location relative to your WWWRoot, a reference to this stylesheet is added to each | 
|  | 184 HTML file. For local deployment of HTML file(s), a complete path to a local stylesheet | 
|  | 185 is fine as well.</p> | 
|  | 186 <p>For <em>create</em> value, a new stylesheet is created and reference to this local stylesheet | 
|  | 187 is added to each HTML file. Use option <strong>--stylesheetname</strong> to specify name.</p> | 
|  | 188 <p>For <em>none</em> value, stylesheet usage is completely ignored.</p> |

|  | 191 <dd> | 
|  | 192 <p>Stylesheet file name to be used in conjunction with <strong>-s --stylesheet</strong> option. It is only | 
|  | 193 valid for <em>old</em> value of <strong>-s --stylesheet</strong> option. Specify a valid stylesheet file location |

|  | 195 file. Example: "/stylesheets/MyStyleSheet.css". Or a complete path name to a local | 
|  | 196 stylesheet file.</p> | 
|  | 197 <p>For <em>create</em> value of <strong>-s --stylesheet</strong> option, a new stylesheet file is created using | 
|  | 198 <strong>-r --root</strong> option. And value of <strong>--stylesheetname</strong> is simply ignored.</p> | 
|  | 199 </dd> |
