Conversion Tools ⇒ Latex2html doesn't work with ACHEMSO class

[combariza]

Hi there,

I was trying to create an html out from a texfile. The texfile was created using lyx. The latex command on the texfile produces a nice dvi file and pdflatex also works fine, creating the pdf file. I'm using the achemso bibstyle and class.

However when I try to use the latex2html tool I got several errors, mainly related to references and the htmls generated are not so fine.

attached is a latex2html log file...

We could probably do with seeing an example TeX file, and also what you are getting from latex2html. The log indicates that (unsurprisingly) latex2html does not "know" some of the commands from achemso, but not what it does about this!

Hi Joseph,

Sorry for the delay in responding, too much work...

I'm attaching a sample tex file generated with lyx, which nicely produces a (pdflatex) pdf and (latex) dvi (also attached) files.

The zip html files generated with latex2html are also included.

Output of the latex2html command are included as well.

Hope this helps to find a cure ...

Best,

Aldo

I'm wondering what the aim is here. The achemso class is pretty "focussed": it's for submission to the ACS, and as such is only designed for print output. A clue would be nice!

I get the impression that LaTeX2HTML needs quite a bit of information to work, and as it doesn't have it about achemso things go wrong. For me, htlatex seems to give a perfectly acceptable HTML conversion. Is there a particular reason to need to use LaTeX2HTML?

Just wanted to get a nicely html output, as latex2html gives for revtex4 documents. htlatex doesn't give the same type of html and I really don't like the output very much.

The whole point is simply to produce a nice html output for papers written with the achemso class, now I just will change the format of the achemso-file.tex to revtex4 and that will do it...
