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.

The Debian version of HeVeA differs from the original HeVeA distribution in that pictures are by default generated in the png format instead of gif. The original behavior can be regained by feeding the following option to hevea:

        gif.hva

and then invoke imagen with the -gif option.

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.
-exec prog
Execute file prog and read the output. The file prog must have execution permission and is searched by following the searching rules of hevea.
-francais
Deprecated by babel support. This option issues a warning message.

-mathml

The HeVeA documentation can be found on the HeVeA home page http://hevea.inria.fr. On a Debian system it can also be accessed at /usr/share/doc/hevea-doc/html, provided the package hevea-doc (from the non-free section) is installed.
