What's new with version 2.0:
- New input files format: HTML, OTHER
- If HTML and PDF files haven't a description the program uses the file name
- Bugfixes by Bertrand Decouty:
I believe you have missed the ';' at the end of html characters name
(& should be &)
you do not deal with multiple same letters in one string (add g to
end of s/x/&xyz/)
