hsc (v0.9.5, 21-Dec-1995)

  This is a developer tool for HTML projects.

  It can be used on any HTML-file and creates a new HTML-file
  as output. It's mainly intended to create and maintain larger
  HTML-projects. As a CLI-only tool, it can be used with 'make'.

  hsc is *not* a tool to make HTML easier for beginners.

  It's a tool to make HTML a bit less painful and braindamaged
  for people who already know how to work with it.
