aecat - display an aewan document
aecat [-b] [-c] [-{n|N}] [{-p | -l <layer_num>}] [-f
<format>] [-o <output_file>] inputfile
This is an utility program that will convert an aewan document to ANSI escape
sequences so that it can be rendered on a standard terminal. Alternatively, it
can also generate HTML code for displaying the document in a web page. Any
particular layer of the document may be converted, or you may request a
composite of all layers.
- -f
- specifies output format - can "text",
"html" or "comment". Default is "text". The
"comment" format extracts document metadata.
- -c
- prepend a 'clear screen' escape sequence (only valid when
outputting text).
-
-o<file>
- writes output to specified file rather than stdout
- -b
- disables output of color (only characters will be
printed).
-
-l<layer_no>
- specifies which layer of the document is to be used (must
be an index, not a layer name). By default, layer 0 will be used.
- -L
- displays the number of layers in the file.
- -p
- exports a composite, that is, overlays all visible layers,
paying attention to layer transparency, etc. The size of the composite
will be the size of the first layer
- -n
- suppress output of newlines
- -h
- prints a short help text
