# Demonstrates the use of a SearchIO Blast parser and a SearchWriterI object
# for producing HTML Blast output from a Blast report input stream.
#
# Usage:
#   STDIN:  none; supply filename of BLAST report on command-line
#   STDOUT: none; generates an output file "searchio.html"
#           containing HTML-formatted Blast Report
#   STDERR: Any errors that occurred.
#
# For more documentation about the writer, including
# a complete list of columns, see the docs for 
#   Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HTMLResultWriter.
#
# For more documentation about working with Blast result objects,
# see docs for these modules:
#   Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult
#   Bio::Search::Iteration::IterationI
#   Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit
#   Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP
#
# For more documentation about the Blast parser, see docs for
#   Bio::SearchIO
