Ltoh home page.

How to Use It:

The key is the file ltoh.specs, which is very easy to customize. Colons are used as delimiters.

• Can simply have it bypass \it, etc.:

  :comm   :\it:::
  

  This says that when ltoh encounters the parameterless command \it (the notation :comm means parameterless), then put nothing in the HTML file.

  Here is another example:

  :{}     :\date:<EM>:: 
  

  This means \date is a single-parameter command with the parameter enclosed by braces; ltoh will put just after the left brace and (same as in HTML) just before the right brace.

• Footnotes are in-line! My improvement makes them displayed:

  @{}     @\footnote@<font size=-1><BLOCKQUOTE>Note: @</>@
  

• If want ltoh to do something but have latex ignore it, just make an empty latex definition. E.g. to get META tags with NAME haviing the "keywords" attribute: In the LaTeX file, before \begin{document}, put

  \def\metakeywords#1{}
  

  an empty definition for a LaTeX macro \metakeywords having one parameter. Later, just after \maketitle, put

  \metakeywords{pollution California environmentalists}
  

  and in ltoh.specs put

  :{}     :\metakeywords:<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT=":">:
  

  Here is my whole list (as of 1/19/98):
