It offers several options in processing, such a the ignoring +of tags, the configuration of the TeX, and downloading of URLs. It is +also much easier to extend than any other html2latex converter. + +License +======= + +It is available under the GPL by default. If you are faced with +license compatibility issues because of Perl's dual-license +configuration, I will _consider_ releasing it under the Artistic +License as well. Contact me at peterthatcher@asu.edu + +Requirements +============ + +For a convinient place for all of the following modules, look for +ftp://html2latex.sourceforge.net/html2latex/pub/. They won't be the +lastest ones, but they should work. + +html2latex requires the following perl modules: + *HTML::TreeBuilder + *XML::Simple + +html2latex can use, but does not require (I hope not, anway): + *LWP::Simple (called libwwwperl too) + *URI + *Image::Magik + +These are needed if you want to use URLs instead of just files, or if +you want to use images in your HTML that are not on your computer, but +are on the Internet + +Each of the modules may require further modules installed; check their +documentation to see. + +If you want a really easy way to install both of these, try typing +"perl -MCPAN -e shell" on the command line. This is a voodoo magic +interface to CPAN (Comprehensize Perl Archive Network). You will need +an internet connection running, and should be root to install as well. +Once their, type "install MODULE", where MODULE is the name of the +module you wish to install, such as HTML::TreeBuilder. For more info, +try "man CPAN". + +Documentation +============= + +All Documentation is in HTML::Latex.pm itself. The default +configuration file (in XML) is at the bottom of it under __DATA__. + + +Other +============= + +If you need a good example of how to use HTML::Latex, look for +html2latex at http://html2latex.sourceforge.net. It's why HTML::Latex +exists. |
