Transforms XML documentation source code to HTML\&.
.LP
\fIFile\fR is a documentation source file, given with or without the \fI\&.xml\fR extension as \fIName\&.xml\fR or \fIName\fR\&.
.LP
If \fIFile\fR contains XML code according to a basic DTD (\fIchapter\fR, \fIerlref\fR, \&.\&.\&.), the resulting HTML file is named \fIName\&.html\fR\&.
.LP
If \fIFile\fR contains XML code according to a compound DTD (\fIapplication\fR or \fIpart\fR), several files are created:
.RS 2
.TP 2
*
A cover page for the application with two frames, \fIName_frame\&.html\fR\&.
.TP 2
*
The contents of the left frame and a front page, \fIName\&.html\fR and \fIName_first\&.html\fR\&.
.TP 2
*
A bibliography and a glossary, \fIName_cite\&.html\fR and \fIName_term\&.html\fR\&.
.TP 2
*
In the case of an \fIapplication\fR DTD an index is created, \fIName\&.kwc\fR and \fIName_index\&.html\fR\&.
.TP 2
*
One HTML file for each file included from \fIFile\fR\&.
.TP 2
*
Also, if there exists a \fIfascicules\&.xml\fR file where the value of the \fIentry\fR attribute for \fIFile\fR is \fI"yes"\fR, the cover page is copied to \fIindex\&.html\fR\&.

.SH CALLBACK MODULE
.LP
A \fIhtml_mod\fR callback module can include the functions specified below\&. Note that there is no check that the resulting HTML code is valid\&. All functions are optional\&.
.SH EXPORTS
.LP
.B
Module:head() -> string()
.br
.RS
.LP
Defines a HTML snippet to be included in the head of a document, after the \fI<HEAD>\fR start tag and \fI<TITLE>\fR tag:

.nf

<HEAD>
  <TITLE>\&.\&.\&.</TITLE>
  - snippet is included here -
  \&.\&.\&.

\&.\&.\&.

Module:seealso(SeeAlso) -> Href
.br
.RS
.TP
Types
SeeAlso = Href = string()
.br
.RE
.RS
.LP
When referring to another part of the document, or another document, the XML tag \fI<seealso>\fR is used: \fI<seealso marker="File#Marker">\&.\&.\&.text\&.\&.\&.</seealso>\fR\&. By default, this is translated to \fI<A HREF="File\&.html#Marker>\&.\&.\&.text\&.\&.\&.</A>\fR\&.
.LP
This function makes it possible to specify an alternative translation \fIHref\fR of the \fImarker\fR attribute value \fISeeAlso\fR\&. For example, in OTP this is used to resolve cross references between applications\&.
