I'm trying to create a bash script that will create cover pages for various essays I do at school. It seems like the best way to output the text in a title page format is to write the information to an html file. At this point what I have looks something like this, but with more variables:

#!/bin/bash

echo Content-type: text/html
echo "Enter name"
read name

/bin/cat << EOM
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>$name</TITLE>
</HEAD>

EOM

/bin/cat title-file.txt




Any suggestions for fixing this bad script?

hi,

what does make you say it's a bad script?

I write a lot of my scripts to be menu driven, or ask questions then use the answers ... Seems like there are many questions you could ask and get input for. Title, date could be automatic, your name static, etc...then use those variables in the report HTML output.
