HTML2LATEX(1)		     General Commands Manual		   HTML2LATEX(1)

NAME
     html2latex -- convert HTML markup to LaTeX markup

SYNOPSIS
     html2latex [opt] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     For  each file argument, html2latex converts the text as HTML markup to La-
     TeX markup.  If no files are specified, a usage message  is  given.   Input
     will be taken from standard input for files named -.  Output will to a sim-
     ilarly  named  file with a `.tex' extension ( html2latex recognises `.html'
     extensions).

     Options modify the action of html2latex.

     The options are:

	   -n	Number sections.

	   -p	Place page breaks after the title page (if present) and the  ta-
		ble of contents (if present).

	   -c	Generate a table of contents.

	   -s	Create no files -- LaTeX is output to stdout.

	   -t Title
		Generate a title page, with the title Title.

	   -a Author
		Generate a title page, with the author Author.

	   -h Header
		Place the text Header after `\begin{document}'.

	   -f Footer
		Place the text Footer before `\end{document}'.

	   -o Options
		Specify the options to `\documentstyle'.

EXAMPLES
     An example of use is

	   html2latex -n - < file.html | less

     This  converts  file.html	to LaTeX and pages through the output.	The sec-
     tions (corresponding to heading tags in the HTML source) will be numbered.

     Another example is

	   html2latex -t 'Introduction to HTML' -a gnat \
	   -p -c -o '[bookman]{article}' html-intro

     This takes input from the file html-intro, writing to  html-intro.tex,  and
     adds a title page (with title Introduction to HTML and author gnat) and ta-
     ble  of contents with page-breaks after both.  The sections of the document
     are   not	 numbered.     The    LaTeX    source	 includes    the    line
     `\documentstyle[bookman]{article}'.

BUGS
     Current  the  only  HTML tags supported are: TITLE, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6,
     UL, OL, DL, DT, DD, LI, B, I, U, EM, STRONG, CODE,  SAMP,	KBD,  VAR,  DFN,
     CITE, LISTING.  The only recognised SGML escapes are `&amp.amp', `&amp.lt',
     `&amp.gt'.  ADDRESS tags are handled badly.

     The  COMPACT  attribute to a DL tag is not recognised.  MENU and DIR styles
     are not handled well.  TITLE text are ignored.

     Currently PRE tags are not handled at all.

     The entire file is read into memory.  For long HTML documents  on	machines
     with little memory, this may cause problems.
