DESCRIPTION
    Generate HTML file(s) from *TextFile(s)*. The HTML file(s) contain data
    tables and appropriate navigational links to view other tables. These
    files can be generated for local viewing or deployment on a web server.
    A variety of options are provided to control style and appearence of
    tables.

    Multiple *TextFile(s)* names are separated by spaces. The valid file
    extensions are *.csv* and *.tsv* for comma/semicolon and tab delimited
    text files respectively. All other file names are ignored. All the text
    files in a current directory can be specified by **.csv*, **.tsv*, or
    the current directory name. The --indelim option determines the format
    of *TextFile(s)*. Any file which doesn't correspond to the format
    indicated by --indelim option is ignored.

OPTIONS
    -a, --align *left | center | right,[top | middle | bottom]*
        Horizontal and vertical alignment for table rows except for header
        row which is specified using --headeralign option. Possible
        horizontal alignment values: *left, center, or right*. Possible
        vertical alignment values: *top, middle, or bottom*.

        Default values: *left,middle*

    -b, --border *borderwidth*
        Table border width. Default value: 1 for *plain* and *highlight*
        mode; 0 for *shade* and *shadedhightlight* mode. Zero indicates no
        border.

    --cellpadding *padding*

        multiple HTML files generation for an input file.

    --displaylinksinfo *line | table | both*
        Control display of additional information along with navigational
        links: Showing line n of m is displyed for line and showing table n
        of m for table. Possible values: *line | table | both*. Default:
        *both*. This option is only valid during multiple HTML files
        generation.

    -h, --help
        Print this help message

    --headeralign *left | center | right,[top | middle | bottom]*
        Horizontal and vertical alignment for table header rows. Possible
        horizontal alignment values: *left, center, or right*. Possible
        vertical alignment values: *top, middle, or bottom*.

        Default values: *center,middle*

    --headercolor *"#RRGGBB"*
        Color used to fill background of table header row containing column
        labels represented as a hexadecimal string. None for -m, --mode
        option value of *plain* and *#ccccff*, light blue, for others.

    --highlight
    *"fieldlabel,datatype,criterion,value,[fieldlabel,datatype,criterion,val
    ue,]..."*
        This value is mode specific. It specifies how to highlight various
        column values for each text file. Same set of quartets values are
        applied to all *TextFile(s)*.

        For *highlightbycolnum* mode, input text format contains these
        quartets: *colnum,datatype,criterion,value,...*. Possible datatype
        values: *numeric or text*. Possible criterion values: *le, ge, or
        eq*. Examples: "1,numeric,le,450>" or
        "2,numeric,ge,150,6,numeric,le,10".

        For *highlightbycollabel* mode, input text format contains these
        quartets: *collabel,datatype,criterion,value,...*.

    --highlightby *colnum | collabel*
        This value is mode specific. It indicates how columns to be
        highlighted are specified using --hightlight option. Possible
        values: *colnum or collabel*. Default value: *colnum*.

    --highlightcolor *"#RRGGBB,#RRGGBB"*
        Colors used to highlight column values during *highlight* and
        *shadedhightlight* mode represented as hexadecimal strings.

        For --highlighstyle option values of *text* and *background*, these
        colors represent text or background colors respectively. For a
        specific column, first color string is used for values which meet
        criterion indicated by --highlight option; the second color is used
        for rest of the values.

        Default values for *background* --highlightstyle: *#0fff0f,#ff0f0f*.
        And default values for *text* --highlightstyle: *#0fbb0f,#ff0f0f*.
        Hexadecimal strings for both --highlightstyle colors correspond to
        *reddish* and *greenish*.

    --highlightstyle *text | background*
        This value is mode specific. It indicates highlight style used to
        differentiate column values which pass a specified criterion from
        others. Possible values: *text or background*. Default:
        *background*.

    --indelim *comma | semicolon*
        Input delimiter for CSV *TextFile(s)*. Possible values: *comma or
        semicolon*. Default value: *comma*. For TSV files, this option is
        ignored and *tab* is used as a delimiter.

    -m, --mode *plain | shade | highlight | shadedhighlight*
        Specify how to generate HTML table(s): plain tables with line
        borders, background of alternate rows filled with a specified color,
        column values hightlighted using a specified criteria, or
        combination of previous two styles.

        Possible values: *plain, shade, highlight, or shadedhighlight*.
        Default: *shade*.

    -n, --numrows *number*
        Maximum number of rows per table. Default value: *100*. Use 0 to put
        all rows into one table. For *TextFile(s)* with more than maximum
        number of specified rows, multiple HTML tables, with appropriate
        navigation links, are created.

    -o, --overwrite
        Overwrite existing files.

    -r, --root *rootname*
        New file or directory name is generated using the root: <root>.html
        or <root>-html. Default new file name: <InitialTextFileName>.html.
        Default directory name: <InitialTextFileName>-html.

        For *TextFile(s)* with more than maximum number of rows specified
        per table, this directory tree is generated using <Name> where
        <Name> corresponds to <root> or <InitialTextFileName>:Top dir -
        <Name>-html; Sub dirs - html and mols. <Top dir> contains
        <Name>.html and <Name>.css files and <sub dir> html conatins various
        <Name>Lines<Start>To<End>.html files; <sub dir> mols is created as
        needed and contains

        This option is ignored for multiple input files.

    --stylesheet *old | new | none*
        Controls usage of stylesheet for newly generated HTML file(s).
        Possible values: *old, new, or none*. Default value: *new*.

        Stylesheet file contains various properties which control apperance
        of HTML pages: type, size, and color of fonts; background color; and
        so on.

        For *old* value, an existing stylesheet file specified by
        --stylesheetname option is used for each HTML file; no new
        stylesheet file is created. This option is quite handy for deploying
        HTML file(s) on a web server: assuming you specify a valid
        stylesheet file location relative to your WWWRoot, a reference to
        this stylesheet is added to each HTML file. For local deployment of
        HTML file(s), a complete path to a local stylesheet is fine as well.

        For *create* value, a new stylesheet is created and reference to
        this local stylesheet is added to each HTML file. Use option
        --stylesheetname to specify name.

        For *none* value, stylesheet usage is completely ignored.

    --stylesheetname *filename*
        Stylesheet file name to be used in conjunction with -s --stylesheet
        option. It is only valid for *old* value of -s --stylesheet option.
        Specify a valid stylesheet file location relative to your WWWRoot
        and a reference to this stylesheet is added to each HTML file.
        Example: "/stylesheets/MyStyleSheet.css". Or a complete path name to
        a local stylesheet file.

        For *create* value of -s --stylesheet option, a new stylesheet file
        is created using -r --root option. And value of --stylesheetname is
        simply ignored.

     --shadecolor *"#RRGGBB,#RRGGBB"*
        Colors used to fill background of rows during *shade* and
        *shadedhightlight* mode represented as a pair of hexadecimal string;
        the first and second color values are used for odd and even number
        rows respectively.

        Default value: *"#ffffff,#e0e9eb"* - it's white and very light blue
        for odd and even number rows.

    -t, --title *string*
        Title for HTML table(s). Default value: <TextFileName>. For multiple
        input files, -r --root option is used to generate appropriate
        titles.

    --titledisplay *yes | no*
        Display title for HTML table(s). Possible values: *yes or no*.
        Default value: *yes*.

    -w, --workingdir *dirname*
        Location of working directory. Default: current directory.

EXAMPLES
    To generate HTML tables with rows background filled with white and
    greyish colors and navigation links on top and botton of each page,
    type:

        % TextFilesToHTML.pl -o Sample1.csv

    To generate HTML tables with rows background filled with golden and
    greyish colors, navigation links on top and botton of each page, 10 rows
    in each table, greyish header row color, and cell spacing of 1, type:

        % TextFilesToHTML.pl -o -n 10 --headeralign "center" --headercolor
          "#a1a1a1" --shadecolor "#ddd700,#d1d1d1" --cellspacing 1
          Sample1.csv

    To generate plain HTML tables with 10 rows in each table and navigation
    links only at the bottom, type:

        % TextFilesToHTML.pl -o -n 10 --displaylinks bottom -m plain
          Sample1.csv

    To highlight values in column 3 using specified highlight criteria and
    fill in default background colors, type:

        % TextFilesToHTML.pl -n 10 --highlight "3,numeric,le,450"
          --highlightby colnum --highlightstyle background -m
          shadedhighlight -o Sample1.csv

    To highlight values in column MolWeight using specified highlight
    criteria, color the text using default colors, and add a footer message
    in every page, type:

        % TextFilesToHTML.pl -n 4 --highlight "MolWeight,numeric,le,500"
          --highlightby collabel --highlightstyle text -m shadedhighlight -o
          --footer "Copyright (C) MayaChemTools" --cellspacing 1 Sample1.csv
