backend-spec - interface between jw and its backends
jw(1) calls backends like backends/html to do the "real"
conversion work. The backend gets all necessary data delivered via environment
variables ready to use.
This documentation describes those environment variables.
The backend is run in the directory where the output files are to
be created. It should return 0 if there weren't any problem, and return a
positive value otherwise.
