.IX Title "HTML2LATEX 1"
.TH HTML2LATEX 1 "perl v5.6.0" "2000-09-24" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.UC
.SH "NAME"
html2latex \- \s-1HTML\s0 to latex converter.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
html2latex [\s-1OPTION\s0]... \s-1URLS\s0...
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
html2latex uses \s-1HTML:\s0:TreeBuilder to parse an \s-1HTML\s0 file and then it
converts the \s-1HTML:\s0:Element into to a Latex file.  Each \s-1URL\s0 will have a
\&.*html extension stripped.  If you use a \s-1URL\s0, then the files taken
from the Internet will be stored in your ~/.html2latex directory.  If
pictures are included, they are converted to .PNG, which can only be
used with pdflatex. As an added bonus, there is an option to
automatically create a \s-1PDF\s0 from the Latex file (using pdflatex).
.SH "REQUIRES"
.IX Header "REQUIRES"
If your html2latex is not working correctly, this may be because you
do not have many of the needed packages.  html2latex requires
\&\s-1HTML:\s0:TreeBuilder perhaps \s-1LWP:\s0:Simple and \s-1URI\s0.  If you do not have
either of these, try typing \fBperl \-MCPAN \-e shell\fR at the command
line.  This will bring up a shell for \s-1CPAN\s0 (The Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network). Then, as root try typing \fBinstall
\&\s-1HTML:\s0:TreeBuilder\fR. Should work like magic.
.SH "URLS"
.IX Header "URLS"
In your list of URLs any filename given after a \s-1URL\s0 will continue to
use the latest \s-1HOST\s0 given.  Also, files default to index.html,
regardless of what the server thinks.  So, if you type:
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`html2latex http://slashdot.org foo.html http://linuxtoday.net bar.html\*(C'\fR
.PP
html2latex will try to grab http://slashdot.org/index.html,
http://slashdot.org/foo.html, http://linuxtoday.net/index.html, and
http://linuxtoday.net/bar.html
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
Options are secondary to document-specified options.  So, if your \s-1HTML\s0
file has border=1, a border will be printed regardless of the
\&\fB\*(--border\fR option.  The do overide, however, options given in the
configuration file.  If you want to change things more permanently,
try changing the config file, html2latex.xml.  For information on it,
try the \s-1HTML:\s0:Latex under section \s-1CONFIGURATION\s0 \s-1FILE\s0.
.Ip "\fB\-h \-? \-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h -? --help"
Print the brief help and usage.
.Ip "\fB\*(--latex2pdf \-\-pdf \-p\fR" 4
.IX Item "latex2pdf --pdf -p"
Automatically create a \s-1PDF\s0 along with a latex file named \s-1FILE\s0.pdf.
This may fail and print a number of cryptic errors.
.Ip "\fB\-i \-\-image \-\-image_scale=SCALE\fR" 4
.IX Item "-i --image --image_scale=SCALE"
Set the scale for images in the latex file.  This is usefull because
some images in \s-1HTML\s0 or much to big to fit on a page.  Default is 1.0.
\&\s-1SCALE\s0 can be any non-zere positive floating point number, large
numbers are not reccomended.
.Ip "\fB\-f \-\-font \-\-font_size=SIZE\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f --font --font_size=SIZE"
Set the default font size.  Can be 10\-12.  Do not try anything else.
html2latex will not check it, but the latex file will not compile (at
least I think not).  Default is 12.
.Ip "\fB\-d \-\-debug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d --debug"
Level of debugging info to print.  The more times this option is used,
the higher the level.  Default is 0, and you cannot lower that.  Right
now, 0 prints nothing.  1 prints fun code-tracking info.  2 prints
lots of data-structure information, so don't do it unless you're
serious.
.Ip "\fB\*(--border \-\-table \-\-table_border\fR" 4
.IX Item "border --table --table_border"
Sets table around borders on.  Default is off.  Also, \fB\*(--noborder\fR or
\&\fB\*(--notable\fR will explicity turn table borders off.
.Ip "\fB\*(--class \-\-document \-\-document_class=CLASS\fR" 4
.IX Item "class --document --document_class=CLASS"
Set the documentclass to use.  Any valid latex document class is
valid.  Examples are \fBreport\fR, \fBbook\fR, and \fBarticle\fR.  \fBarticle\fR
is the default.  If an invalid document class is used, the output
latex file will not compile.
.Ip "\fB\*(--package=PACKAGE\fR" 4
.IX Item "package=PACKAGE"
html2latex will create a latex file using any packages that you
specify.  \s-1PACKAGE\s0 will be added to the list of class to put in the
file.  html2latex will not make sure the packages are valid, but if
they aren't the latex file won't compile.
.Ip "\fB\*(--head=HEAD\fR" 4
.IX Item "head=HEAD"
Latex allows you to add options in the preamble of the form
\&\edocumentclass[\s-1OPTIONS\s0]{article}.  Each \s-1HEAD\s0 you add gets added to the
list included.  For instance, you could use \f(CW\*(C`\-\-head=twocolumn\*(C'\fR to add
the 'twocolumn' feature of Latex.  Since font sizes are already added,
don't add them yourself.  See \f(CW\*(C`\-\-font\*(C'\fR
.Ip "\fB\*(--mbox \-m\fR" 4
.IX Item "mbox -m"
With any of these, html2latex will put a tex \embox around all of the
tables it creates.  I do not know why, but with a lot of tables
(especially nested ones), the tex and pdf output will work better.
So, if you do not like your output with tables, try this.
.Ip "\fB\*(--paragraph \-\-par \-P\fR" 4
.IX Item "paragraph --par -P"
Uses HTML-style paragraphs.  This is by default, so try \-\-noparagrph
or \-\-nopar or \-P! to turn it back to Latex-style paragraphs. 
.Ip "\fB\*(--cache \-\-local\fR" 4
.IX Item "cache --local"
.Ip "\fB\*(--log \-l \s-1LOGFILE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "log -l LOGFILE"
Print all messages to \s-1LOGFILE\s0 instead of \s-1STDERR\s0.
.Ip "\fB\*(--conf \-C \s-1CONFFILE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "conf -C CONFFILE"
Change the configuration file to \s-1CONFFILE\s0.  For more information on
this file, see the \s-1HTML:\s0:Latex manpage.
