latex-to-html
latex-to-html converts a subset of latex to html.
It renders formulas as vector graphics, so that they look exactly as they would in a pdf.
Example
Features
Because latex-to-html renders math formulas using pdflatex, it supports the same math formulas as latex.
Inline math must be delimited by $ ... $
and display math must be of the form
\begin{equation}
\label{....}
...
\end{equation}
where the label is optional. Outside of math environments, only a subset of tex/latex is supported:
\title{...}
\section{...}
\subsection{...}
\begin{itemize} \item ... \item ... \end{itemize}
\begin{enumerate} \item ... \item ... \end{enumerate}
- Some hard-coded theorem-like environments (those usually declared with
\newtheorem
):theorem
proposition
definition
lemma
remark
corollary
example
\begin{proof} ... \end{proof}
\label{...}
,\ref{...}
and\eqref{...}
\emph{...}
,\textbf{...}
,\textit{...}
There is also basic support for \bibliography
.
Latex-to-html ignores the lines directly after a line containing the following comment:
% LATEX_TO_HTML_IGNORE
This is useful in case a tex file is also used with pdflatex directly to generate a pdf file.
For example, latex-to-html does not support the enumitem
package.
To use it for the generated pdf output anyway, the package can be included as follows:
% LATEX_TO_HTML_IGNORE
\usepackage{enumitem}
The appearance of numerals in an enumeration for the pdf output (but not the webpage) can then be changed like so:
\begin{enumerate}
% LATEX_TO_HTML_IGNORE
[label={(\roman*)}]
\item
...
\item
...
\end{enumerate}
Installation
Make sure to install all dependencies first. latex-to-html depends on cargo, pdflatex, pdfcrop and pdf2svg. On Debian or Ubuntu, these dependencies can be installed as follows:
sudo apt install cargo texlive texlive-extra-utils pdf2svg
To download and install latex-to-html to ~/.cargo/bin
, run the following:
cargo install latex-to-html
You can now either add $HOME/.cargo/bin
to your PATH
variable or simply specify the full path when you execute latex-to-html: ~/.cargo/bin/latex-to-html
.
Usage
Assuming you have a doc.tex
and a doc.bib
file, run the following:
latex-to-html doc.tex doc.bib out/
This may take a while on the first run, but subsequent runs will be much faster.
To view the generated document, open out/index.html
in your browser.
