<H1 ALIGN="RIGHT"><A NAME="BOOKFORMAT">Appendix B - Book File Format</A></H1>
<P>This appendix describes the HTMLDOC <VAR>.book</VAR> file format.
<H2>Introduction</H2>
<P>The HTMLDOC <VAR>.book</VAR> file format is a simple
text format that provides the command-line options and files
that are part of the document. These files can be used from the
GUI interface or from the command-line using the
<CODE>--batch</CODE> option:
<PRE>
htmldoc filename.book
htmldoc --batch filename.book
</PRE>
<P>The first form will load the book and display the GUI interface, if configured.
Windows users should use <VAR>ghtmldoc.exe</VAR> executable to show the GUI and
<VAR>htmldoc.exe</VAR> for the batch mode:
<PRE>
ghtmldoc.exe filename.book
htmldoc.exe --batch filename.book
</PRE>
<H2>The Header</H2>
<P>Each <VAR>.book</VAR> file starts with a line reading:
<PRE>
#HTMLDOC 1.9
</PRE>
<P>The version number (1.9) is optional.
<H2>The Options</H2>
<P>Following the header is a line containing the options for the book. You can
use any valid command-line option on this line:
<PRE>
-f htmldoc.pdf --titleimage htmldoc.png --duplex --compression=9 --jpeg=90
</PRE>
<P>Long option lines can be broken using a trailing backslash (<TT>\</TT>) on
the end of each continuation line:</P>
<PRE>
-f htmldoc.pdf --titleimage htmldoc.png --duplex \
--compression=9 --jpeg=90
</PRE>
