Once one has run LaTeX (Section 4.1)
one can run latex2html simply by:
latex2html yourfile.tex(where
yourfile.tex is the name of the *.tex file
input to LaTeX).
latex2html will pick up any of the other files which resulted
from the LaTeX run (such as postscript files containing figures,
tables of contents etc) based upon the contents of the
*.tex file.
Various pieces of information will be dumped during the
latex2html run, along with any error or warning messages.
latex2html has a relatively large number of command-line options
plus a bunch of default parameters & values in the
.latex2html-init, which control where the output files are
written, how the document is split,
how images are included,
what goes at the header and footer of the html pages
etc.
These are
described in detail in the latex2html
manual (see the latex2html "Home Page").
Here briefly outline the features we most commonly use, and things to
bear in mind:
