backend-spec - interface between jw and its backends


DESCRIPTION

       jw(1)  calls  backends like backends/html to do the "real"
       conversion work.  The  backend  gets  all  necessary  data
       delivered via environment variables ready to use.

       This  documentation describes those environment variables.

       The backend is run in the directory where the output files
       are to be created. It should return 0 if there weren't any
       problem, and return a positive value otherwise.
