<code class="Nm">mht</code> is a utility that generates HTML from
<a class="Xr">troff(1)</a> source code.
<p class="Pp">While <code class="Nm">mht</code> is named like a troff macro
package and uses troff syntax, it is a standalone utility that does not use
troff itself. As such, it supports only a subset of the standard troff
requests.</p>

<h1 class="Sh" id="USAGE"><a class="permalink" href="#USAGE">USAGE</a></h1>
This section describes the various types of requests supported by
<code class="Nm">mht</code>. On the left side are the name and arity of each
request, separated by a slash. On the right side is the HTML expansion of each
request.
<p class="Pp">In the HTML expansion of all element requests, a backslash and a
dollar sign followed by a number (e.g. \$1) signify a parameter
expansion.</p>
<p class="Pp">In block element requests, a percent sign (%) signifies the lines
following the request until the next block element request.</p>
<p class="Pp">Finally, in contiguous element requests, whatever text is on the
outside of the area delimited by braces ({...}) is removed when two of the
same contiguous element requests are placed next to one another.</p>
