I was looking at alternatives to lynx --dump to turn text/plain into
text/html.  The manpage describes using TERM=ansi, but since I didn't
want *any* escape sequences, I tried TERM=dumb.  That tells me to pass
--monochrome, but netrik doesn't accept --monochrome.

    $ date >x
    $ TERM=dumb netrik --monochrome --dump x
    netrik: unrecognized option '--monochrome'
    Can't get color capabilities -- starting in monochrome mode.

    If this is what you want, use --monochrome option to suppress this warning. Otherwise, please check your $TERM environment variable. (See README for details.)

    Press <return> to continue.

Hello Trent,

I have sent a patch to upstream to correct netrik documentation.

You can use --bw option instead of --monochrome.

Hi,

I committed the fix to netrik CVS (eek!) -- let me know if a tarball
release would be helpful...

BTW, when using --dump --bw, the output is guaranteed to be plain text
-- no need to set $TERM in this case. (This was mentioned in some of the
documentation, but it was missing in the main man page... I fixed that
too.)
