Announcing tellico2html (was: Issue with HTML export)

[Bruno Cornec]

Hello tellicoers !
oDue to the issues I had to created in an automatic fashion a web site
from my tellico data, I passed a bit of time these last days to create a
script perfoming it for me, and thought it could be of interest to this
community.

So I'm announcing the availability of tellico2html, a tool to 
automatically generate a Web site from Tellico data using Perl scripts 
and Template Toolkit.

More info available at https://github.com/bcornec/tellico2html

I provided samples of my .tc files with it so you can generate web pages
from it, and see how you could use it for your own collections (doc
online on how to do that).

And many thanks to Robby from providing tellico without which all that
wouldn't exist and I wouldn't know ho to manage my collections ;-)

One problem I'm still trying to solve, is that the field name of the
image managed for wine is called "label", whereas it's "cover" for all
the other collections I manage, which doesn't help when copying the
image files in the target directory for HTML pages to use them.

I tried to change thatin the tellico.xml file in the .tc, but as soon as
I use tellico again it's changed back. I also try to patch (attached)
winecollection.cpp, but it seems there are other mechanisms involved
which put the "label" back in place. 

HTH,
Bruno.
