Could we have a -o option for the output.
I fully understand that some backends do not have just
one output file (for instance HTML needs a directory).
Still - I think that there needs to be some generic
way of passing options to the back ends.
Then the road is clear to adding a -o option to
(almost) all backends and so no pieces of code will be
in your package which will assume what is the output
file.
Mark.

Hello!
Thanks for the great package.

For instance:
sgmltools --backend=html --backendopt=directory=/tmp
or something like that.
