User Manual


LATEX2HTML is a program for creating hyperlinked sets of HTML pages from a document marked-up using LATEX commands. Previous sections have discussed the results of specific LATEX commands. In this section we discuss instead the extensive range of command-line switches and options, and other aspects of Perl code, that affect the way the translation is performed.


To use LATEX2HTML to translate a file <file>.tex containing LATEX commands, type:

latex2html <file>.tex


This will create a new directory called <file> which will contain the generated HTML files, some log files and possibly some images. To view the result use an HTML browser, such as NCSA Mosaic or Netscape Navigator, on the main HTML file which is <file>/<file>.html. The file will contain navigation links to the other parts of the generated document. The .tex suffix is optional and will be supplied by the program if it is omitted by the user. Other suffixes are acceptable also, such as .doc.



It is possible to customise the output from LATEX2HTML using a number of command-line options with which you can specify:



The LATEX2HTML script includes a short manual which can be viewed with the command:

  perldoc latex2html
