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
       LaTeX 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  similarly	named file with	a `.tex' extension ( html2latex	recog-
       nises `.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
		  table	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
       sections	(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 table of contents with page-breaks after both.  The sections	of the
       document	 are  not  numbered.   The  LaTeX  source  includes  the  line
       `\documentstyle[bookman]{article}'.

SEE ALSO
       latex(1).

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 ma-
       chines with little memory, this may cause problems.

       (file://ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/xmosaic)  and wrote the conversion code.  The
       HTML parser code	is subject to the NCSA restrictions.   The  conversion
       code  is	subject	to the VUW restrictions.  Enquiries should be sent via
