[postgis-users] HTML output

[Kevin Neufeld]

Yes, this is true... but it's PostgreSQL, the database, that has this 
option, not PostGIS, a plugin to PostgreSQL that spatially enables the 
database - that is, allows you to store geometry objects.

See (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-psql.html) - In 
particular, the \H and \pset options from psql, PostgreSQL's 
command-line client application.
Basically, after typing \H and setting the appropriate variables with 
\pset, all output is wrapped with html tags. Or use the -H option when 
launching psql. You could also use the -c option to send a query to the 
database and pipe the results to a file or wherever you choose. After 
that, it's up to your creativity to do something useful with the results :)

Cheers,
Kevin
