[[File:usage.txt.jpg]]

== Motivation ==

The goal was to generate the "usage" page that a command line tool usually prints when you invoke it with a "<tt>-help</tt>" or "<tt>--help</tt>" option, rather than maintain it manually (e.g. in the form of "<tt>println()</tt>" statements in the code).

The chosen solution is to put a big DOC comment before the "<tt>main()</tt>" method, generate an HTML page with JAVADOC, convert that into a plain text file, put it into the application's JAR file and copy its contents to STDOUT when the user want to see it.

The command line version of <tt>html2txt</tt> itself uses that technique, and you can see the results above.
