v1.25 - http://www.bewley.net/perl/gif2html.pl
Example: gif2html.pl -v -t template.html *.gif *.jpg
Sample Output: http://www.bewley.net/vacation/sf-alcatraz1.jpg.html
Use gif2html.pl in batch jobs. It takes a butt load of graphics and creates
an html file for each one, giving you complete control over the html. Simply
create an html Template with an empty <img src=> in it. Gif2html.pl will
copy the template for each image and fill in each <img src=> with the
appropriate URL and width/height tags. It will also include unique
Captions
for each image.
Tested with UNIX of course and also Win95 Perl5.001m b107
Give your graphics descriptive names. Use full words seperated by a '-'. Dashes will be converted to spaces and possibly placed in the title depending on your template. Better yet, use the captions.
This template will be copied for each image to a file having the same name as
the image but ending in .html. Also see the default template in sub
readTemplate.
Notice the empty <IMG SRC=``''> tag. This will automagically be filled in with the URL of the graphic along with its width and height tags.
Also notice the <S-INSERT TITLE> and <S-INSERT CAPTION>. If you do not insert a title then the name of the graphic file will become the default title of the HTML file although dashes and underscores will be converted to spaces. The <S-INSERT CAPTION> will be filled in with the corresponding caption for the image.
It is possible to create a custom caption for each image. Simply create a file that looks like so:
The first word must be a graphics filename followed by a | with optional spaces
around it. The caption continues until a blank line and will be stuffed
in place of the <S-INSERT CAPTION> tag in the template.
Captions may span lines and must be seperated by a BLANK line. If you need a
blank line in your caption for some reason (maybe you are useing
<PRE>) then you need to put a space on the blank line.
If a graphic does not have a caption then gif2html.pl will put the graphics name in as a caption, just as in the title.
Tell gif2html.pl where to find this file by either specifying it on the command line with the -c option or putting its name in the $CAPTION_FILE user variable.
