✨ NAME ✨

htmlcopy — copy a HTML file without breaking links. 🫶 no cap, that's the whole gig.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

htmlcopy [OPTION] {SOURCE | -} [DESTINATION]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so htmlcopy copies a source HTML file into DESTINATION. and here's the part that eats: if that HTML file has links to images, other HTML files, javascripts and cascading style sheets, htmlcopy is out here changing the link paths inside the HTML file so that the link destinations stay correct. it's giving "moved apartments but kept all the group chats." iconic. 👑

when DESTINATION is omitted, the modified HTML gets written to standard output. and also, it is assumed that the output location is the current working directory. so like, heads up on that. 💀

now listen — SOURCE and DESTINATION should be cleaned-up paths. periodt. for example, a verbose path like /aa/bb/../cc may cause converting links wrongly. 😭 not the links being converted wrong. this is a limitation of the URI module's rel method, so it's not us being messy, it's just how it is. to clean up paths, Cwd::realpath is useful. bestie tip, fr fr. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — prints a brief help message and exits. quick lil vibe check, then she's gone. 👋
  • -m, --man — prints the manual page and exits. (you are literally here rn. main character behavior.) 📖💅
