Class Description

   The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple data format used to
 create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform to another.
 HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are
 appropriate for representing information from a wide range of domains.

   The THtml class is designed to provide an easy way for converting ROOT
 classes, and files as well, into HTML documents. Here is the few rules
 and suggestions for a configuration, coding and usage.


 Configuration:
 -------------

   The output directory could be specified using the Root.Html.OutputDir
 environment variable ( default value: "html/" ). Also it is necessary to
 define Root.Html.SourceDir to point to directories containing .cxx and .h
 files ( see: TEnv ).

       Examples:
                Root.Html.OutputDir: html
                Root.Html.SourceDir: src:include:.:/usr/user/source
                Root.Html.Root:      http://root.cern.ch/root/html


   During the conversion, THtml will look for the certain number of
 user defined strings, i.e. author's name, copyright note, etc.
 This could be defined with following environment variables:

       Root.Html.Author     ( default: //*-- Author : )
       Root.Html.LastUpdate ( default: //*CMZ : )
       Root.Html.Copyright  ( default: // Copyright )



 Coding rules:
 ------------

   A class description block, which must be placed before the first
 member function, has a following form:

       
       //                                                            
       // TMyClass                                                   
       //                                                            
       // This is the description block.                             
       //                                                            
       

   The environment variable Root.Html.Description ( see: TEnv ) contents
 the delimiter string ( default value: //_________________ ). It means
 that you can also write your class description block like this:

       //_____________________________________________________________
       // A description of the class starts with the line above, and
       // will take place here !
       

   Note that EVERYTHING until the first non-commented line is considered
 as a valid class description block.

   A member function description block starts immediately after '{'
 and looks like this:

       void TWorld::HelloWorldFunc( string *text )
       {
       // This is an example of description for the
       // TWorld member function

          helloWorld.Print( text );
       }

   Like in a class description block, EVERYTHING until the first
 non-commented line is considered as a valid member function
 description block.

   ==> The "Begin_Html" and "End_Html" special keywords <=========
       --------------------------------------------
 You can insert pure html code in your comment lines. During the
 generation of the documentation, this code will be inserted as is
 in the html file.
 Pure html code must be inserted between the keywords "Begin_Html"
 and "End_Html" starting/finishing anywhere in the comment lines.
 Examples of pure html code are given in many Root classes.
 See for example the classes TDataMember and TMinuit.

   ==> The escape character
       --------------------
 Outside blocks starting with "Begin_Html" and finishing with "End_Html"
 one can prevent the automatic translation of symbols like "<" and ">"
 to "&lt;" and "&gt;" by using the escape character in front.
 The default escape character is backslash and can be changed
 via the member function SetEscape.

 Usage:
 -----

     Root> gHtml.MakeAll               // invoke a make for all classes
     Root> gHtml.MakeClass( TMyClass ) // create a HTML files for that class only
     Root> gHtml.MakeIndex()           // creates an index files only
     Root> gHtml.MakeTree( TMyClass )  // creates an inheritance tree for a class

     Root> gHtml.Convert( hist1.mac, "Histogram example" )


 Environment variables:
 ---------------------

   Root.Html.OutputDir    ( default: html/ )
   Root.Html.SourceDir    ( default: src/ )
   Root.Html.Author       ( default: //*-- Author : )
   Root.Html.LastUpdate   ( default: //*CMZ : )
   Root.Html.Copyright    ( default: // Copyright )
   Root.Html.Description  ( default: //____________________ )
   Root.Html.HomePage     ( URL to the user defined home page )
   Root.Html.SearchEngine ( link to the search engine )
