Re: [hylafax-users] HTML to postscript

My version is 4.1beta2

I have tried escaping out the characters, I still get the same result, the page is printed as text.  Does someone have a working typerules on this version that does the html2ps conversion?

My typerules file is below.

I'm *guessing* you need to backslash the bracket, and maybe the bang,
but I don't remember which program applies the typerules, nor exactly
how.  Or maybe you could singlequote the strings.

Config file semantics and syntax aren't the strong point of the doco
at the moment.
