htmlize: Command line interface to http://rtfm.etla.org/emacs/htmlfontify/

[Simon Josefsson]

Thanks for all suggestions and comments.  I ended up using
htmlfontify.el instead, because I was able to use it in batch mode.

I'm sure 'highlight' is good, but it didn't appear to be able to
fontify things like "compilation-mode" does, which is what I needed.

Below is the latest script.  If anyone is interested in future
releases, htmlize is part of <http://josefsson.org/autobuild/>.  The
autobuild distribution archive contain a man page and Texinfo
documentation for htmlize too.  Hopefully the script won't change much
from now on, so I likely won't post it again here.

usage="Usage: $prog [OPTION]... INFILE [OUTFILE [EMACS-MODE]]

Launch Emacs and load INFILE into a buffer, then invoke a major mode
for font locking, and render the fontified buffer as HTML, saving the
result into OUTFILE.

Emacs must have htmlfontify.el installed in its load-path.

If OUTFILE is not specified, it will use INFILE appended with .html.

If EMACS-MODE is not specified, compilation-mode will be used.

Options:
      --emacs COMMAND  Use specified command to invoke emacs, e.g. \"emacs21\".
      --mode MODE      Fontify file using specified Emacs mode, defaults to
                       \"compilation-mode\".  E.g., \"sh-mode\".
  -f, --force          Overwrite OUTFILE if it exists, instead of
                       exiting unsuccessfully with an error message.
  -u, --update         Only write to OUTFILE when OUTFILE does not exist,
                       or when INFILE is more recent than OUTFILE.
  -h, --help           Display this help and exit successfully.
      --version        Display version information and exit successfully. 

Environment variables:
  EMACS                The Emacs editor command.

Simple example:
  $prog mybuildlog.txt mybuildlog.html

Report bugs to <address@hidden>."
