# Newsletter to Web
Converts a newsletter to and Atom feed and static HTML files.
## Usage
Get the latest release [from the releases page](https://code.kiers.eu/newsletter-to-web/newsletter-to-web/releases/latest).
### Getting help
For help, use
* `newsletter-to-web help`
* `newsletter-to-web help <subcommand>`.
### Basic usage
First, download all messages from the IMAP mail server
and store them in the `data/` directory:
```sh
newsletter-to-web fetch-from-imap -s <imap.example.com> -u <email@example.com> -p <password>
```
Then, convert them to an Atom feed, using
`newsletters.example.com` as the base domain:
```sh
newsletter-to-web --include-html build-feed newsletters.example.org
```
This will put the output in the `output/` directory. The Atom
feed will be in `output/feed.xml`, together with a very simple
`index.html` file pointing to the feed. It will also add an HTML
file for every email with the HTML content.
The feed will already contain the full HTML, so it can easily be
read from a feed reader.
