   name="QQ1-1-3"></a>Introduction</h3>
<!--63--><p class="noindent">Publishing on the Web has rapidly achieved significant importance, for example, the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) is moving towards electronic forms of International
Standard documents that are suitable for publishing on the Web, and in particular, documents
as PDF or HTML files rather than their traditional request for camera-ready paper
copy.
<!--70--><p class="indent">   Documents written using LaTeX&nbsp;[<a 
 href="#XLAMPORT94">Lam94</a>] tagging can be easily converted to PostScript, PDF
and HTML, all from the single electronic source. This guide briefly notes some of the ways that
this can be accomplished. Most of the programs and systems mentioned here are described in
more detail in&nbsp;[<a 
 href="#XGOOSSENS99">GR99</a>].
<!--77--><p class="indent">   I have made no attempt to design this document for Web publication. The typographical rules
for printing on paper are well founded, having been developed over hundreds of years.
Display on computer screens is a very different matter and requires a different set of
rules, most of which, as yet, are either in a state of flux or unavailable. For LaTeXers
who are interested in this topic I suggest a look at D.&nbsp;P.&nbsp;Story's work on AcroTeX (
<a 
 href="http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/acrotex.html" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/acrotex.html</span></a>). Further, for the example conversions I
have used only the minimal tool options necessary. Many of the tools have extensive capabilities
which are well documented in their accompanying user manuals; these should be consulted for
further information.
   <h4 class="subsectionHead">1.1 <a 
   name="x1-40001.1"></a><a 
   name="QQ1-1-4"></a>URLs</h4>
<!--92--><p class="noindent">I have tried to provide URLs for the programs and systems mentioned here. Most LaTeX-related
software is available from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). There are three
sites,   <a 
 href="ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive</span></a> in the USA,   <a 
 href="ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive</span></a> in
the UK, and   <a 
 href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive</span></a> in Germany, as well as several mirror sites.
Usefully, the CTAN sites (but not necessarily a mirror site) supports on-the-fly zipping of files and
entire directories, which makes downloading a group of files less tedious than having to get them
one-by-one. Below, I have used   <a 
 href="ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive</span></a> to stand for any of the three
CTAN sites.
   <h4 class="subsectionHead">1.2 <a 
   name="x1-50001.2"></a><a 
   name="QQ1-1-5"></a>Disclaimer</h4>
<!--107--><p class="noindent">Nothing that is said in this document is meant to imply any endorsement or recommendation,
either positive or negative, concerning any systems or programs mentioned herein.
<!--111--><p class="indent">   Many of the systems or programs are `free' in the sense that they are either public domain or
their licences are roughly equivalent to the GNU Public License. Others are either commercial or
have more restricitive licenses or may require payment. Where known, programs and systems that
are not `free' are noted.

<!--120--><p class="noindent">The traditional output from a LaTeX (e.g., <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.tex</span>) file is a `device independent' <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.dvi </span>file. The <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.dvi</span>
file is then processed further to convert it to a format suitable for printing on a particular printing
device. In the vast majority of cases the final printable format has been PostScript,
obtained by running the <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.dvi </span>file through a program like <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">dvips</span>, to generate a <span

<!--127--><p class="indent">   PostScript was developed by Adobe Systems. The Portable Document Format (PDF) has
since also been developed by Adobe, and seems to be overtaking PostScript as the format of
choice for printing, and especially for display via the Web.
<!--132--><p class="indent">   DVI and PDF are somewhat similar in that they both describe where (electronic) ink is to be
put on (electronic) paper. PostScript also does this but at the same time it is a complete
programming language. This means that it is inherently more difficult, time consuming, and
computer intensive, to process PostScript than either DVI or PDF. This is probably the reason
behind the popularity of PDF on the Web.
<!--139--><p class="indent">   There are now several methods of producing a PDF (e.g., <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.pdf</span>) file from <span

include:
     <ul class="itemize1">

<!--153--><p class="noindent">There are basically two routes to getting from PostScript to PDF. The first of these is to use
Acrobat software from Adobe Systems, which essentially means the commercial <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Distiller</span>
program. <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Distiller </span>can read in a PostScript file and output a PDF file where the visual results
of printing the two files are identical. This, or any other, PDF file can be viewed and/or printed
via the charge-free Acrobat <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Reader </span>program. Note that when using <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Reader </span>the `fit to
paper' option may alter the page layout, for example by changing the height of the text
block.
<!--164--><p class="indent">   The second route is to use a non-Adobe converter program, like <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Ghostscript </span>which runs on
nearly all operating systems and which is obtainable from   <a 
 href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost</span></a>.
The <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Ghostscript </span>distribution comes with a script called <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ps2pdf </span>which performs the conversion.
The distribution also provides the popular <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Ghostview </span>program, which is a viewer for both
PostScript and PDF files.
<!--172--><p class="indent">   Another converter program, which does have some licensing conditions that may not be suitable
for all users, is <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">PStill</span>; it is available from   <a

class="small-caps">T</small> </span>fonts are in the form of bitmaps, which is unfortunate when it
comes to PDF. Typically, PDF will only use one size of each font for a document, and will scale
this if different font sizes are required. This normally works well as fonts used with PDF are
typically `Type&nbsp;1' fonts (e.g., PostScript fonts) which are designed to be scaleable. Bitmap
fonts look terrible when scaled or printed at a resolution that they were not designed
for.
<!--266--><p class="indent">   In other words, expect bad results if you generate a PDF file with the original Computer
Modern fonts.
<!--269--><p class="indent">   Perhaps the easiest method of dealing with this is to use the most common PostScript fonts,
namely Times, Courier and Helvetica. All that is necessary is to add <span class="obeylines-h"><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">\usepackage{times}</span></span> to the
document's preamble.
<!--273--><p class="indent">   Alternatively, if you need to use the CM fonts, perhaps because a lot of mathematics is
involved, many LaTeX distributions include Type&nbsp;1 versions of the CM fonts. If you don't have
them they can be found at   <a

the DVI processor that needs to know in detail about the fonts in a document. So, the DVI

processor has to be told to use Type&nbsp;1 CM PostScript fonts. The following is for the

<!--439--><p class="indent">   There is inevitably a problem when converting from LaTeX to HTML for a document that
includes figures/illustrations or anything more than the most simple mathematical typesetting as,
basically, HTML provides no support. Typically, mathematics and illustrations, are converted to a
picture format and then inserted into the HTML document as graphics, usually with a very poor
appearance.
<!--447--><p class="indent">   However, for mathematics the situation is starting to change because of the advent of
MathML (  <a 
 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2</span></a>). In particular the Milestone&nbsp;13 release of Mozilla (
<a 
 href="http://www.mozilla.org/binaries.html" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.mozilla.org/binaries.html</span></a>) is a MathML-enabled browser. Some examples,
generated by <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">TeX4ht</span>, are available at   <a 
 href="http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/~gartside/mozSuccess" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/~gartside/mozSuccess</span></a>.
<!--454--><p class="indent">   All the systems generate HTML tagged documents, with the particular tagging `style' set by
the system. It is advantageous to use a converter which either by default generates your desired
style, or which can be modified in some manner to do so.

   <h4 class="subsectionHead">3.1 <a 
   name="x1-130003.1"></a><a 
   name="QQ1-1-14"></a>Self-parsing systems</h4>
<!--461--><p class="noindent">The self-parsing systems incorporate their own parsers for the TeX language. In essence, this
means that they `know' the meaning of common TeX commands, but probably not all possible
commands. It is advantageous to use a system that can be extended to deal with commands that
were not anticipated by the author.
<!--467--><p class="indent">   The only system I am familiar with in this class is Peter Wilson's <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ltx2x </span>program (
<a 
 href="ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/ltx2x" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/ltx2x</span></a>). This program works by replacing known
LaTeX commands, and their arguments, by user-specified text strings&nbsp;[<a 
 href="#XPRW96h">Wil96</a>]. It is unable to
handle anything more than very simple mathematics and ignores any pictures. The user-specified
command texts are kept in a simple command-table file. Within limits, new LaTeX commands
and environments may be specified within a command-table file and the command texts modified.
The <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ltx2x </span>program has been used to `detex' (i.e., remove all LaTeX commands) files,
convert to HTML, and convert to SGML. It cannot convert to XML due to a yet to be
resolved technical problem in dealing with end of paragraph tags. The program is written
in C and so requires a C compiler for installation. The system can be extended via
some C programming, in which case the <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">flex </span>and <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">bison </span>programs are also required.
There is no chance that <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ltx2x </span>would ever make any sense whatsoever of <span 
class="cmss-10--109">xii.tex </span>on
page&nbsp;<a 
 href="#x1-120003">10</a>.
<!--485--><p class="indent">   Perhaps the most venerable system is the <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">LaTeX2HTML </span>system
(   <a 
 href="http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/l2h/docs/manual" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/l2h/docs/manual</span></a> or
<a 
 href="ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/latex2html" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/latex2html</span></a>), originally by Nikos Drakos
and now maintained by Ross Moore and others. This system is written using <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Perl </span>(
<a 
 href="ftp://ftp.uu.net/languages/perl" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ftp.uu.net/languages/perl</span></a>). It also requires a database management system such as the
Unix DBM or NDBM, or the GNU GDBM system. Further, it requires <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Ghostscript </span>and the
<span 
class="cmtt-10--109">netpbm </span>library of graphics utilities (  <a 
 href="ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities</span></a>). To extend or
change the default conversion style requires, I think, some Perl programming. A fuller description
and examples are given in&nbsp;[<a 
 href="#XGOOSSENS99">GR99</a>].
<!--497--><p class="indent">   Another converter is the <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">TtH </span>program by Ian Hutchinson (  <a 
 href="http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth</span></a>)
which is cost-free for non-commercial use; commercial use in this case is roughly by anyone who gets
paid while using it (but see   <a 
 href="http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/tth-commercial/email.html" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/tth-commercial/email.html</span></a>
for the actual wording). There is also another version, <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">TeX2HTML </span>(  <a 
 href="http://www.tex2html.com" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.tex2html.com</span></a>)
which is the `commercial GOLD version of the freeware <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">Tth </span>by Ian Hutchinson'. These programs
run on the usual range of operating systems. An example of the output from <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">TtH </span>is given
in&nbsp;[<a 
 href="#XGOOSSENS99">GR99</a>].
   <h4 class="subsectionHead">3.2 <a 
   name="x1-140003.2"></a><a 
   name="QQ1-1-15"></a>TeX-based parsing system</h4>
<!--510--><p class="noindent">Eitan Gurari's <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">TeX4ht </span>system appears to be unique in that it uses TeX as the
parser for the LaTeX document and instead effectively takes the <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.dvi </span>file as its
starting point for conversion to HTML. That is, it does not have to understand TeX
code and can, in fact, convert David Carlise's <span 
class="cmss-10--109">xii.tex </span>(page&nbsp;<a 
 href="#x1-120003">10</a>) to HTML. The system

is available from   <a 
 href="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html</span></a>. It
consists of two C programs, one package file, and a set of <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.4ht </span>configuration files, one
for each of the typical LaTeX classes and packages. It also requires ImageMagick (
<a 
 href="http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/www/archives.html" class="url" ><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/www/archives.html</span></a>) for handling illustrations and
non-simple mathematics. Simply speaking, the system is extended by writing new <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.4ht </span>file(s) and
its output modified by writing simple <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.cfg </span>file(s) that override the <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.4ht </span>file(s). At the moment,
the best and most detailed description is given in&nbsp;[<a 
 href="#XGOOSSENS99">GR99</a>].
<!--528--><p class="indent">   By default, <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">TeX4ht </span>can generate a non-tagged file or a file tagged with either HTML3.2 or
HTML4.0. By writing appropriate <span 
class="cmss-10--109">*.cfg </span>files it can be made to generate XML tagged files. The
system comes with a script called <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">htlatex </span>which controls the conversion process from LaTeX;
there is also the <span 
class="cmtt-10--109">httex </span>script for converting a TeX document. For instance, to convert the earlier
example LaTeX file, <span 
class="cmss-10--109">example.tex </span>(page&nbsp;<a 
 href="#x1-90002.3">3</a>), to an HTML4.0 tagged document, it is enough to
run:
<br class="newline"><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">htlatex example</span>
<br class="newline">which will then output <span 
class="cmss-10--109">example.html</span>. Similarly, to convert <span 
class="cmss-10--109">xii.tex </span>just run:
<br class="newline"><span 
class="cmtt-10--109">httex xii</span>.

viewed document depends on the particular viewer; different versions of Netscape, for example,
may display and print the diagram with very different rendering qualities. I asked TeX4ht to
generate this particular figure at 180dpi instead of the default 110dpi to improve the
quality.
