LaTeX commands but without equations, figures, tables, etc. + o Perl 5.003 (Perl5 Patch level 3) or higher. +------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + o DBM or NDBM, the Unix DataBase Management system. + Alternatively, Perl5's SDBM DataBase system. +------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Do not care unless you get misconfiguration errors from LaTeX2HTML. + + 2. LaTeX commands with equations, figures, tables, etc. + As above plus + o latex (version 2e recommended but 2.09 acceptable), + o dvips (version 5.516 or later) or dvipsk. + Version 5.62 or higher enhances the performance of image creation + with a *significant* speed-up. See l2conf.pm for this + after you are done with the installation. + Do not use the 'dvips -E' feature unless you have 5.62, else you + will get broken images. +------^^^^ + o gs (Ghostscript version 4.03 or later), +------------------------------^^^^ + with the ppmraw device driver, or even better pnmraw. + Upgrade to 5.10 or later if you want to go sure about seldom problems + with 4.03 to avoid (yet unclarified). + o The netpbm library (ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/). + Netpbm 1 March 1994 is recommended. Check with 'pnmcrop -version'. + Some of the filters in those libraries are used during the postscript + to image conversion. + o If you want PNG images, you need pnmtopng (current version is 2.31). + It is not part of netpbm and requires libpng (version 0.89c) and + libz (1.0.4). pnmtopng supports transparency and interlace mode. + Hurray!!! Netscape 4.04 has been reported to grok PNG images! +------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + That means your PNG option is not longer ahead of its time! + Unfortunately Netscape still does not make use of the alpha + channel... still not transparency. + + 3. Transparent inlined GIFs + If you dislike the gray background color of the generated inlined images + then the best thing you can do is get the netpbm library (instead of + the older pbmplus) OR install the giftrans filter by Andreas Ley + <ley@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>. Version 1.10.2 is known to work without + problems but later versions should also be OK. + + LaTeX2HTML also supports the shareware program giftool (by Home Pages, Inc., + version 1.0), too. It can also create interlaced GIFs. + +Because by default the translator makes use of inlined images in the final +HTML output, it would be better to have a viewer which supports the <IMG> +tag, such as NCSA Mosaic. If only a character based browser is available or +if you want the generated documents to be more portable then the translator +can be used with the -ascii_mode option. + +If ghostscript or netpbm library are not available +it is still possible to use the translator with the -no_images option. + +If you intend to use any of the special features of the translator +then you have to include the html.sty file in any LaTeX documents that +use them. + + +Installation +************ + +Please consult the section "Installing LaTeX2HTML" of the online manual at + + http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/l2h/docs/manual/Snode3.html + +Also consult the page at + + http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html + +for links to special instructions on some platforms. + + +To install LaTeX2HTML please read the file INSTALL. + +Troubleshooting +*************** + +Please refer to the FAQ file that came with your distribution. + + +Support and More Information +**************************** + +Announcements, discussion archives, bug reporting forms and +more are kept at the LaTeX2HTML home at +http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/nikos/tex2html/doc/latex2html/latex2html.html. + +*** this site has not been updated since November 1996. +Many of the links are still valid, leading to useful information. + + +A LaTeX2HTML mailing list had been set up at the Argonne National Labs +(thanks to Ian Foster <itf@mcs.anl.gov> and Bob Olson <olson@mcs.anl.gov>). + +*** This list is no longer functional; it has now been taken over by the + TeX User Group (TUG).
