Getting LATEX2HTML

Subsections

One way LATEX2HTML may be obtained is through one of the three Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN) sites. They are located at
* US
United States: http://ctan.tug.org/ctan/,
* UK
United Kingdom: http://www.tex.ac.uk/
* DE
Germany: ftp://ftp.dante.de/.
In the directory tex-archive/support/latex2html/ should be the latest version, as a compressed archive.

There are also many mirrors. To find the nearest to you, get a listing via the command:
finger ctan@www.tug.org

The site at http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/ is a convenient alternative for European users. This is connected to the developer's repository, so should always have the most recent release.

Alternatively, a compressed tar file of the source and related files may be obtained via anonymous ftp to http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html/sources/.

Two other ftp-sites are:

Other ftp-sites nearer to you can be found using Archie at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/archie.html or http://www.pvv.unit.no/archie/ (faster) or more recent Web-searching tools such as FTP search in Norway.
Warning: Some ftp-sites may not carry the latest version.

Updates and patches are posted on the LATEX2HTML server at http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html/.


For users of Windows NT, there is a port of LATEX2HTML obtainable from ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/TeX/win32. Obtain the release from this site and follow the instructions in the accompanying file README.win32.
Thanks to Fabrice Popineau for this work.
In future it is planned to merge this code with the main distribution.


Finally there is the LATEX2HTML developers' CVS repository, at http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/user/.
The files to be found here are the most up-to-date with current developments, but they cannot be guaranteed to be fully reliable. New features may be still under development and not yet sufficiently tested for release. A daily updated compressed archive of the developers' work may be downloaded from http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/l2h-latest.tar.gz.

Warning: Use the files from this site at your own risk.




Having obtained a compressed tar version, save it into a file latex2html-98.1.tar.gz say, then extract its contents with

% gzip -d latex2html-98.1.tar.gz
% tar xvf latex2html-98.1.tar

You should then have the following:
