INTRODUCTION

The role of this document is two-fold:
1) to demonstrate a number of facilities provided by the word-processing language LaTeX, and in particluar its use in conjunction with the latex2html package,
2) to list common problems people encounter with running latex2html and (hopefully) solutions or suggestions.

It is anticipated that this document will grow dramatically in details and examples as the authors become more experienced. Comments, suggestion & contributions are of course most welcome.

Again we emphasis that this document is NOT an official manual for the latex or latex2html (and related) software packages. It is merely a demonstration document, and as such is intended primarily for internal OGIP use.

Experienced LaTeXperts will probably be most interested in Sections 6, 7 and 8. However, for the un-initiated, in Section 2, we briefly outline the LaTeX and latex2html software packages, along with some propaganda regarding their use. A brief description on where to obtain and how to install the software is given in Section 3.
