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.
