9.1 card

Many users of a2ps have asked for a reference card, presenting a summary of the options. In fact, something closely related to the output of ‘a2ps --help’.

The first version of this reference card was a PreScript file (see PreScript) to be printed by a2ps. Very soon a much better scheme was found: using a style sheet to pretty print directly the output of ‘a2ps --help’! A first advantage is then that the reference cards can be printed in the tongue you choose.

A second was that this treatment could be applied to any application supporting a ‘--help’-like option.
