Overview

--------



The LaTeX2HTML translator: 



 * breaks up a document into one or more components as specified by

   the user, 

 * provides optional iconic navigation panels on every page which

   contain links to other parts of the document,  

 * handles inlined equations, right-justified

   numbered equations, tables, or figures and any arbitrary environment, 

 * can produce output suitable for browsers that support inlined images

   or character based browsers (as specified by the user), 

 * handles definitions of new commands, environments, and theorems

   even when these are defined in external style files, 

 * handles footnotes, tables of contents, lists of figures and tables,

   bibliographies, and can generate an Index, 

 * translates cross-references into hyperlinks and extends the

   LaTeX cross-referencing mechanism to work not just

   within a document but between documents which may reside in

   remote locations, 

 * translates accent and special character

   commands to the equivalent HTML

   character codes where possible, 

 * recognizes hypertext links (to multimedia resources or arbitrary

   internet services such as sound/video/ftp/http/news) and links which

   invoke arbitrary program scripts, all expressed as LaTeX commands, 

 * recognizes conditional text which is intended only for the hypertext

   version, or only for the paper (PDF) version, 

 * can include raw HTML in a LaTeX document (e.g. in order to specify

   interactive forms), 

 * can deal sensibly with all the commands and environments commonly used 

   with LaTeX as summarized at the back of the LaTeX blue book [1],

   and many of the packages described in the LaTeX Companion, and others. 

 * will try to translate any document with embedded LaTeX commands

   irrespective of whether it is complete or syntactically legal. 



Pointers to the User Manual

---------------------------



The LaTeX2HTML program includes its own manual page. 

The manual page can be viewed by saying "perldoc latex2html"

or "latex2html -help".



See the manual in the docs directory for more information and

examples.



Other useful links can be found at:  www.latex2html.org

and at the mailing-list site:

	http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html



See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to install the program

and make your own local copy of the manual in HTML.



Requirements

------------



Please consult the section "Requirements" of the manual at

for more information.



The requirements for using LaTeX2HTML depend on the kind of

translation it is asked to perform as follows: 



 1. LaTeX commands but without equations, figures, tables, etc. 

    * Perl 5.003 or higher.



 2. LaTeX commands with equations, figures, tables, etc. 

   As above plus 

    * latex (pdflatex is used by default)

    * latex preview package

    * gs (Ghostscript version 4.03 or later),

    * The netpbm library

    * If you want to produce SVG images, pdftocairo

      (available through the poppler-utils package).

    * If you want to process documents written for dvi-producing latex

      (as opposed to pdflatex), you need either dvips or dvipng.

      These are available through the texlive distribution.

 



Installation

------------



LaTeX2HTML is available through the debian, fedora, and macports

package managers.
