Usage

Overview

hlins is a program that inserts hypertext links into html documents, according to one or several data bases associating addresses (url's) to names. hlins is designed for inserting links for persons: It knows about abbreviations of first and middle names and tolerated dropping of the last part of a composite last name.

If no file argument is given then input is taken from stdin; when no output option (see below) is given then output goes to stdout.
