Notes: Run this routine in a newsletter directory.
A newsletter directory is normally a monthly directory
and must have the text file issue.txt and one or more
article subdirectories.
issue.txt contains a single line like
Volume 2, Number 1. 2005 October
An optional file in the newsletter directory is
sep.txt which contains any HTML code to separate
articles (def = <p>
). This could be an image.
Such an image must be included in the newsletter directory.
An article directory contains a control file named
control.ctr which contains the title, author, and optional
ktitle (for a possible future KWIC index), example:
title: A Newsletter Formatter written in IDL
author: Ray Sterner
The article directory also contains a text file with the
article. This text file may contain html tags for
formatting and may reference images that are in the same
directory.
