From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 Description of problem: When using the "--nochunks" option on db2html, the HTML is written to standard out. However, output from the tool is also written to standard out and is mixed in with the HTML. This generates an invalid HTML document. Ideally, the HTML would not be written to standard out and written to a file by db2html. As an alternative the tool output should be written to standard error instead of standard out. Thus redirection will only grab the HTML. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. db2html --nochunks some-document.sgml > some-document.html 2. 3. Actual Results: The resulting file "document.html" contains output from the tool and thus is not a valid HTML file. Specifically, look at the first 4 lines and last line of the file. Expected Results: The output from the tool should not be included in the HTML. They should be written to standard error or something similar to allow only the generated HTML to be written to the file. Additional info:
I have reported this to the upstream maintainer to see which fix would be preferred (output to a file, I imagine).
