SECTIONING COMMANDS IN FOILTEX AND CONVERSION TO HTML FORMAT: FOILHTML PACKAGE Version 1.2, February 17, 1998 Boris Veytsman E-mail: boris@plmsc.psu.edu Home page: http://www.plmsc.psu.edu/~boris The standard FoilTeX system is based on a visual rather than logical formatting. Thus automatic conversion of FoilTeX documents to HTML format is difficult. In particular, the well-known LaTeX2HTML converter gives unsatisfactory results when used on FoilTeX documents. This package provides integration between FoilTeX and LaTeX2HTML. It adds sectioning commands and elements of logical formatting to FoilTeX and provides support for FoilTeX commands in LaTeX2HTML. It also supports automatic creation of LaTeX2HTML images with proper font sizes and shapes when converting FoilTeX documents. Installation Since FoilHTML is an add-on to FoilTeX and LaTeX2HTML, you need both these programs installed and working prior to installation of FoilHTML. This package is intended for LaTeX2e only; I don't have enough time to port and test it under LaTeX2.09. It is tested under FoilTeX v2.1 and LaTeX2HTML v96, 97, 98. The FoilHTML distribution consists of the following files: - readme.v12---Read Me file - foilhtml.dtx---the fully documented code - foilhtml.ins---the LaTeX program extracting the code from the .dtx file. To install the package: - Run LaTeX on foilhtml.ins. This will create the following files: o foilhtml.perl---Perl script for LaTeX2HTML96-1, o foils.perl---Perl script for LaTeX2HTML97-1, o foilhtml.sty and foilhtml.cfg---LaTeX style file and the configuration file for user-customization, o foilhtml.drv---documentation driver. o foilhtml-96.perl and foils-97.perl---obsolete versions of Perl scripts required only if you have an obsolete installation LaTeX2HTML. - Put foils.perl to the directory where your LaTeX2HTML scripts reside (usually it is styles subdirectory of the main LaTeX2HTML directory, e. g. /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles). - Tune the configuration file foilhtml.cfg according to your taste and put it together with the file foilhtml.sty to the directory read by LaTeX. - Run LaTeX on foilhtml.drv to produce the documentation (the documentation driver foilhtml.drv reads the contents of the file foilhtml.dtx, so do not delete the latter until you produced the documentation). - (Optional) to produce the documentation and the code run LaTeX through the file foilhtml.dtx If you have older versions of LaTeX2HTML, your best options is to upgrade. However, if you cannot do this by some reason, you can use the previous versions of the perl scripts. Just rename the files foilhtml-96.perl or foils-97.perl to foilhtml.perl or foils.perl correspondingly and install them in the |styles| subdirectory. What's New in Version 1.2: - Added support for LaTeX2HTML98-1. What's New in Version 1.1: - Added support for LaTeX2HTML97-1.
