.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Ms2html
converts the
.IR ms (6)
source on standard input into HTML and prints it to
standard output.

preprocessors.

converted to gif files.

entry, its contents will be used as the title; otherwise
.I ms2html
will look for a
.B ._T
macro, unknown to
.IR ms (6),
and take its value.
Options are:
.TF q
.IP q

delimiters to
