Download The LATEX2HTML Translator

Credits, 1993–1994
Several people have contributed suggestions, ideas, solutions, support and encouragement.
Some of these are Roderick Williams, Ana Maria Paiva, Jamil Sawar and Andrew Cole at
the Computer Based Learning Unit2 .
CERN The idea of splitting LATEX files into more than one component, connected via
hyperlinks, was first implemented in Perl by Toni Lantunen at CERN. Thanks to
Robert Cailliau of the World-Wide Web Project, also at CERN, for providing access
to the source code and documentation (although no part of the original design or the
actual code has been used).
Robert S. Thau has contributed the new version of texexpand. Also, in order to translate the “document from hell” (!!!) he has extended the translator to handle \def
commands, nested math-mode commands, and has fixed several bugs.
Phillip Conrad and L. Peter Deutsch. The pstogif Perl script uses the pstoppm.ps
PostScript program, originally written by Phillip Conrad (Perfect Byte, Inc.) and
modified by L. Peter Deutsch (Aladdin Enterprises).
Roderick Williams The idea of using existing symbolic labels to provide cross-references
between documents was first conceived during discussions with Roderick.
Eric Carroll who first suggested providing a command like \hyperref .
Franz Vojik provided the basic mechanism for handling foreign accents.
Todd Little The ‘ -auto navigation ’ option was based on an idea by Todd.
Axel Belinfante provided the Perl code in the makeidx.perl file, as well as numerous
suggestions and bug-reports.
Verena Umar (from the Computer Science Education Project3 ) has been a very patient
tester of some early versions of LATEX2HTML and many of the current features are a
result of her suggestions.
Ian Foster and Bob Olson. Thanks to Ian Foster and Bob Olson at the Argonne National Labs, for setting up the LATEX2HTML mailing list4 .
