SYNOPSIS
dsr2html [options] dsrfile-in [htmlfile-out]
DESCRIPTION
The dsr2html utility renders the contents of a DICOM Structured Reporting (SR) document (file format or raw data set) to HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) version 3.2 or 4.01 as well as to XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language) version 1.1.
If dsr2html reads a raw data set (DICOM data without a file format meta-header) it will attempt to guess the transfer syntax by examining the first few bytes of the file. It is not always possible to correctly guess the transfer syntax and it is better to convert a data set to a file format whenever possible (using the dcmconv utility). It is also possible to use the -f and -t[ieb] options to force dsr2html to read a dataset with a particular transfer syntax.

Character Encoding
The HTML/XHTML encoding is determined automatically from the DICOM attribute (0008,0005) 'Specific Character Set' using the following mapping:
ASCII (ISO_IR 6) => (none) UTF-8 "ISO_IR 192" => "UTF-8" ISO Latin 1 "ISO_IR 100" => "ISO-8859-1" ISO Latin 2 "ISO_IR 101" => "ISO-8859-2" ISO Latin 3 "ISO_IR 109" => "ISO-8859-3" ISO Latin 4 "ISO_IR 110" => "ISO-8859-4" ISO Latin 5 "ISO_IR 148" => "ISO-8859-9" Cyrillic "ISO_IR 144" => "ISO-8859-5" Arabic "ISO_IR 127" => "ISO-8859-6" Greek "ISO_IR 126" => "ISO-8859-7" Hebrew "ISO_IR 138" => "ISO-8859-8" Thai "ISO_IR 166" => "TIS-620" Japanese "ISO 2022 IR 13ISO 2022 IR 87" => "ISO-2022-JP" Korean "ISO 2022 IR 6ISO 2022 IR 149" => "ISO-2022-KR" Chinese "ISO 2022 IR 6ISO 2022 IR 58" => "ISO-2022-CN" Chinese "GB18030" => "GB18030" Chinese "GBK" => "GBK"
If this DICOM attribute is missing in the input file, although needed, option --charset-assume can be used to specify an appropriate character set manually (using one of the DICOM defined terms). For reasons of backward compatibility with previous versions of this tool, the following terms are also supported and mapped automatically to the associated DICOM defined terms: latin-1, latin-2, latin-3, latin-4, latin-5, cyrillic, arabic, greek, hebrew.
Option --convert-to-utf8 can be used to convert the DICOM file or data set to UTF-8 encoding prior to the rendering to HTML/XHTML format.
LOGGING
The level of logging output of the various command line tools and underlying libraries can be specified by the user. By default, only errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream. Using option --verbose also informational messages like processing details are reported. Option --debug can be used to get more details on the internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes. Other logging levels can be selected using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the application will usually terminate. For more details on the different logging levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.
In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option --log-config can be used. This configuration file also allows for directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for filtering certain messages based on the module or application where they are generated. An example configuration file is provided in <etcdir>/logger.cfg.
COMMAND LINE
All command line tools use the following notation for parameters: square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both means 0 to n values.
Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+' or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This behavior conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix shells.
In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@' sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator unless they appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file. This simple but effective approach allows one to summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).
ENVIRONMENT
The dsr2html utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file <datadir>/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into the application (default for Windows).
The default behavior should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (':') separates entries. On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The data dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data dictionary can be loaded.
