latex to html via oztex?

I've downloaded the source code of TtH ... Read the adjoint manual of TtH. You should be aware that TtH "understands" many of the core commands of LaTeX, but it skips \usepackage commands and so the commands defined in the packages. You should provide convenient replacements on your own ...

latex to html via oztex?

Also, if there's any better way to get from LaTeX to html I'd be most interested in knowing. I have a book to put in Amazon's Digital Text Platform, but it requires html.
In addition to TtH (which comes with OzTeX), there are several converters from LaTeX to HTML: Hevea, LaTeX2HTML, TeX4ht... You ...

Okay, so I never did get it to work. But where there's a will there's a relative, and I decided to forget the LaTex macros and just do it all in Applescript
set this_file to "myfilename"
set this_dir to choose folder

making macros

There is a macro under Macros--Applescript for creating a bibliography, but I'd like to make one to create an index and glossary. Presently I'm going into Terminal and typing something like this:

cd path/to/directory
makeindex filename.idx
makeindex filename.glo -s filename.ist -t filename.glg -o ...

Re: remove chapter numbers in table of contents

That got the chapter names, thanks!

But it still works even without the setcounter line, for whatever reason.

I didn't include a preface in the sample but it keeps the title "contents", but that should be taken care of the same way I would think. And the book name doesn't print at all, but I'm ...

Re: remove chapter numbers in table of contents

Oh, sorry, I didn't supply enough information. What I'm trying to do is where it presently says "Chapter", I want the actual chapter name.

Re: remove chapter numbers in table of contents

That gets me close, but instead of the actual chapter name, it just says "Chapter".

Except for one little problem: the word CONTENTS appears where the chapter name used to be on the individual pages of the chapters.
