Version francaise / Deutsche Übersetzung
Html2LaTeX is a very simple translation script, using awk and sed. He should run on any Unix system. He knows only a quite restricted number of HTML tags, but its abilities can very simply and very quickly be extended. Its aim is only to save repetitive and boring work to people, who would have such a translation to do, by performing a first translation before human hand correction. However, it has the advantage to be very small and very easily modifiable, since it is composed of less than 5,000 bytes, and that it doesn't need to be compiled. It has been placed on the web, freely available, in the eventuality that it could help someone...
Warning ! Don't be confused with the very well-known LaTeX2HTML, which is more elaborate and realizes the inverse operation ! You'll be able to find that one anywhere on the web.
