This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of the LaTeX2HTML
converter, originally written by Nikos Drakos.
This package was put together by Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
from source retrieved from:
http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html/
LaTeX2HTML depends on netpbm-non-free, which is in section non-free,
so this has to go in contrib. Please note that some images shall not
get converted correctly if netpbm-non-free is not present and the
default image style is GIF.
Pstoimg, the part of latex2html that produces bitmap images from the
LaTeX source, can support both GIF and PNG format. The default is
PNG. You may reconfigure pstoimg at any time by saying
configure-pstoimg. Type 'configure-pstoimg -h' for a brief usage
information and a list of user-definable options.
Please note that there are certain legal limitations on the use of
the GIF image format.
The icons used by LaTeX2HTML (for navigation, amongst other uses) were
originally available in /usr/lib/latex2html/icons. The files produced by
LaTeX2HTML contain references to the icons that look like
SRC="/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/next_motif.gif".
When the file is viewed directly using an HTML browser like lynx of
netscape, the reference is interpreted as
file://localhost/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/next_motif.gif, which is fine.
However, if the file is published through a local HTTP server, the
reference becomes:
http://my.domain.name/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/next_motif.gif
In order for this to be resolved, one needs to create and polulate a
directory <Document Root>/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/. This package does
that for the standard Document Root, /var/www, by creating
/var/www/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/ and creating symbolic links to the
files in /usr/lib/latex2html/icons/.
This is an ugly solution, but it works, andshould be behind the scenes; if
you have a better solution that allows the converted files to be viewed
both directly and published from the local HTTP server, please email me at
srivasta@debian.org
There also is a fix in this version of LaTeX2HTML; it is the one mentioned
in the following message on the LaTeX2HTML mailing list. This was
discovered by Susan Kleinmann <sgk@kleinmann.com>.

"latex2html: segmented input files" (May 12, 10:14am)
To: bacon@aerodyne.com, latex2html@mcs.anl.gov
Subject: Re: latex2html: segmented input files
A collegue of mine is having the same problem. It appears on
machines running RedHat Linux 4.2 & 5.0 (It works fine on SGI, an old
Slackworks (?) Linux,...)
It doesn't seem to care which version of l2h or perl is running (?)
He narrowed it down to the tell & seek in
sub slurp_input_and_partition_and_pre_process (are those still needed?)
_A_ workaround, but likely not the `Correct' solution was to put a
close SINPUT;
just after
unless ($pid = fork) {
in sub write_string_out
Interestingly, the comments for the tell & seek statements claim that they are
there to get around some sort of problem w/ forking.
If we comment out the tell & seek, but include the close, it still works fine.
If we comment out tell & seek AND the extra close, it produces 3,
count 'em THREE, copies of the section!
More bizarre: I tested this on my SGI, which had worked fine.
Commenting tell & seek, but including the close produces 3 copies of section.
Having tell & seek AND the close works fine (again).
Apparently SGI (and others?) need the tell/seek `solution', and RedHat needs
the close `solution'... or is something else really going on?
Thanks
