hevea (1)

NAME

hevea - A fast LaTeX to HTML translator

SYNOPSIS

hevea [options] <texfile>

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the hevea command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

Using hevea it is possible to translate large documents written in LaTeX, such as manuals, books, etc., very quickly into HTML. All documents are translated as one single HTML file. The output file can be cut into smaller files, using the companion program hacha.

OPTIONS

General Options

-version

Show hevea version and exit.

-v

Verbose flag, can be repeated to increase verbosity.

-dv

Add border around some of the block-level elements issued. Specifically, all DIV and P are bordered, while the structure of displayed material is also shown.

-s

Suppress warnings.

-I dirname

Add dirname to the search path.

-o name

Make name the output basename. However, if name is base.html, then the output basename is base.

-e filename

Prevent hevea from loading any file whose name is filename. Note that this option applies to all files, including hevea.hva and base style files.

-fix

Iterate HeVeA until a fixpoint is found. Additionally, images get generated automatically.

-O

Optimize HTML by calling esponja.
