💖 REM2HTML — the rem2html manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about rem2html — it's the little glow-up machine that takes the output of remind -pp or remind -ppp and turns it into HTML. ✨

This is the manual page for rem2html, and we're running VERSION 06.03.03 over here. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rem2html — Convert the output of remind -pp or remind -ppp to HTML. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

remind -ppp [remind_options] file | rem2html [options]

remind -pp [remind_options] file | rem2html [options]

You can also use the old interchange format like this, but ngl the -pp or -ppp versions are the preferred ones, periodt:

remind -p [remind_options] file | rem2html [options]

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --help, -h — Print usage information. It's giving helpful. 🫶
  • --version — Print version. So you can flex which one you've got. 💅
  • --utf8 — Assume standard input is encoded in UTF-8, and write UTF-8 data to standard output. Unicode girlies stay winning. 🌈
  • --backurl url — When producing the small calendar for the previous month, make the month name a link to url. Cute little time-travel hyperlink. ⏪
  • --forwurl url — When producing the small calendar for the next month, make the month name a link to url. Same energy, but forwards. ⏩
  • --imgbase url — When creating URLs for the stylesheet or external images, use url as the base URL. Lowkey the anchor of the whole vibe. ⚓
  • --pngs — Normally, rem2html uses inline data: URLs for the moon phase images, which yields a standalone HTML file (iconic, self-sufficient, main character energy). The --pngs option makes it use external images named firstquarter.png, fullmoon.png, lastquarter.png and newmoon.png, which are expected to live in --imgbase. 🌙
  • --stylesheet url.css — Use url.css as the stylesheet. If this option is used, url.css is interpreted relative to imgbase unless it starts with a /. 🎀
  • --nostyle — Produce basic HTML that does not use a CSS stylesheet. Minimalist. No makeup. Still valid. 🧚
  • --tableonly — Output results as a <table> ... </table> sequence only, without any <html> or <body> tags. Just the table, bestie. No wrapper, no drama. 💀
  • --title title — Use title as the content between <title> and </title> tags. Name your calendar. Give it a title card. 👑
  • --yaag — Instead of making 7-column tables for each month, show each month as a single table row of 38 columns. This is the so-called "year-at-a-glance" format. ⚠️ You must use the -ppp option to remind or the --yaag option will be ignored. And this format works best if you create a calendar for an entire year — so, starting in January and using -ppp12 to get 12 months' worth of reminders. 🗓️
  • --prologue html_text — Insert html_text right after the <body> tag. Your opening act. 🎬
  • --epilogue html_text — Insert html_text right before the </body> tag. Your closing credits. 🎞️

🌟 SPECIALS SUPPORTED 🌟

The rem2html back-end supports these SPECIAL reminders, and yes, we love them all:

  • HTML — Add an HTML reminder to the calendar. This lets you use the full power of HTML rather than the restricted subset supported by Remind's FMT markup language. Go off, honestly. 🔥
  • HTMLCLASS — Add a CSS class to the box representing the trigger date. Peep "HIGHLIGHTING TODAY" for an example. 💅
  • WEEK, MOON, SHADE, COLOR — The standard SPECIALs supported by all back-ends. The classics. The OG squad. 🫶

🦋 INFO STRINGS SUPPORTED 🦋

Rem2html supports one INFO string, namely Url. Its value should be a URL. If the Url INFO string is supplied for a normal reminder, a COLOR special, a MOON special or a WEEK special, the corresponding output is turned into a hyperlink. ✨

🌸 HIGHLIGHTING TODAY 🌸

Older versions of rem2html used to highlight today's date with a red outline. The current version does not do that by default — no cap, it just doesn't.

If you wish to highlight today's date, add the following reminder to your reminders file:

REM [realtoday()] SPECIAL HTMLCLASS rem-today

Boom. Today's date, but make it noticeable. 💖
