 This is the PPC port of "hsc" which only includes the PPC (ELF)
 binaries plus the smakefile/SCOPTIONS combo needed to re-create
 these with SAS/C for PPC.

 Please refer to "hsc.lha" and "hsc_source.lha" for documentation,
 the full source code and HTML samples.

TITLE

  hsc - html sucks completely

VERSION

  0.915

AUTHOR

  Thomas Aglassinger <agi@giga.or.at>

DESCRIPTION

  Hsc is a developer tool for html-projects.

  It can be used on any html file and creates a new html file as
  output. In the input file, you may use an extended syntax based on
  html, but which also allows extensions like macros, conditionals and
  more.

  It's mainly intended to create and maintain larger html projects. As
  a CLI-only tool, it should be used with `make'; a dependency
  generator is included.

  Hsc is *not* a tool to make html easier for beginners; It's a tool
  to make html a bit less painful and brain-damaged for people who
  already know how to work with it.

FEATURES

  - macros (implemented as additional tags)
  - conditionals (if/else/elseif)
  - expressions, supporting
    - string concatenation and comparison,
    - import of environment variables
    - current time
    - size of files
  - special tags to
    - include files (also sources)
    - execute shell commands (and include output)
    - add comments in a reasonable way
  - for local links, checks if file/id exists
  - project relative URIs
  - replaces special characters by entities
  - evaluates attributes for image size (PNG/jfif/gif)
  - strips comments and specified tags
  - strips useless white spaces
  - replaces icon entities by images
  - performs a basic syntax- and structure check
  - easy to extend syntax definition format
  - maintains a project file
  - dependency generator for Makefiles included
  - tool to examine/manipulate project files included

NEW FEATURES

  - ported to NeXTStep, AmigaOS/ixemul.library and BeOS
  - conditional assignments
  - as usual, some minor bugfixes and improvements

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

  AmigaOS 2.04, 2MB of regular memory, 68020, some sort of WWW-browser
  and ASCII editor.

  For larger projects, 4MB of memory and 68040 are recommended.

  Different to most other WWW-tools, hsc requires an user-IQ > 50. You
  should also know how to work with the CLI and how to write
  Makefiles. You should already made have some experiences with macro
  processors and some programming language (Rexx should suffice).
