Inlining local file

[pc1oad1etter]

I am trying to inline an HTML file and its images stored on my local machine. I see the option -I for specifying a name from the local directory, and -l, to not download data.

However, I'm seeing that the URI argument is required. What should I supply as the argument for the URI? I have a file "custom.html" in my current working directory. I have tried using the "custom.html", "./custom.html", and "file://custom.html":
~/dev/python-html-inliner/inliner.py -d tmp -u file://custom.html -il --prettify --verbose > custominliner.html

each time it tells me that no html files could be found in the tmp folder.

How can I accomplish this?

inliner.py -u http://doesnotmatter.com -d $FOLDEROFCUSTOMHTML -i custom.html -l -p

You can try this. But this script was written to download from a server. Not sure if this works.
