Conversion Tools ⇒ TeX to HTML Conversion

[spartanguy07]

I have created a tex file (using MiKTeX/Texmaker) of documentation, that is correctly converted to PDF, that I now want to convert to HTML. I have read several places about LaTeX2HTML, TTH, and other tools that could be used to to his, but it seems all the references I find are out of date.

I also noticed that there is a LaTeX2HTML package in the MiKTeX Package Manager, but I can't find how to utilize it.

If someone could get me started on how this is conversion is most easily done I would greatly appreciate it.

Install the package by the MPM and open a command line to access its documentation.

Code: Select all

texdoc latex2html

Alternatively see the latex2html entry on CTAN.

Code: Select all

texdoc latex2html

When I tried this I received a "Winows API Error 5: Access Denied" message.

I already downloaded the package, installed Perl and checked all the installation requirements for things like GhostScript. I just don't understand how to run it on a tex file that I already have generated.

As a Linux user I can't tell you anything about Wind0ws error messages.

As I already suggested, go to CTAN and get the latex2html manual from there. Just follow the links.

Since I wasted a lot of time trying to figure this out and never found a person who would give me a straight, simple answer, I will answer my own question in hopes that it will help someone else in the future.

1. Install the MiKTeX package for HTML conversion.
2. Open command prompt and type:

   Code: Select all

   htlatex document.tex

This converts the source to a series of HTML files. It's as simple as that.

I think you might be interested in my new project pdf2htmlEX,
which can be found at https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX

A demo can be found at http://coolwanglu.github.com/pdf2htmlEX/demo/demo.html

You may convert your file as tex -> pdf -> html

Sorry for bumping, but this doesn't work for me (writing in the command prompt). I just get

"htlatex: Invalid argument
htlatex: Data: 4294967295"

Is there anything specific I should do? I just want an extremely simple way to convert into HTML. All the packages I've found seems to be out of date.
