How to generate jpg thumbnails and browsable html pages from command line

graphicshtmljpeg

I am searching for a simple command line tool that takes a bunch of jpg files as input, copies them to some destination and generates some browsable html for it (including index page, preview thumbnails etc.), such that I can upload the results to some static webserver and people can conveniently browse them.

andcoz's answer provided me with a good search term, i.e. just using

$ apt-cache search gallery

results in some packages matching the above criteria, e.g.

bins
igal2 - Nice looking film reel effect in gallery by default, scaling of original images is not the default (see --bigy), homepage and man page are missing some usage examples
jigl
lazygal - Themes are easy to change/adjust, instead of next/previous links small thumbnails (at the left/right), small/medium scaled views by default, --original creates links to the original files
llgal
photon - Optional slideshow feature via javascript, some scaling and link to original image available
webmagick

(Under Ubuntu 10.04)

man2html example:

zcat /usr/share/man/man1/dd.1.gz \ 
    | man2html \
    | sudo tee /var/www/html/dd.html

roffit example:

git clone git://github.com/bagder/roffit.git
cd roffit
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/dd.1.gz \
    | perl roffit \
    | sudo tee /var/www/html/dd-roffit.html

Other tools:

troffcvt does about the same thing.
The 'real' troff - Gonna try out http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/doctools.html. I suspect schily has OpenSolaris and friends in mind :-).
