I hope html2latex isn't too off topic for this group. (Moderator feel free to reject this post if it is)
I have an ebook formatted in a fairly minimal HTML (a couple of <div align="right"> statements are about the only thing in it that wouldn't have been recognised by the original 1.0 NCSA browser!) so I was wondering what would be the best tool to convert this to TeX? No 8-bit chars in the source, just entity-refs. Should be easy. I'm looking to see what's around before I write my own... Obviously I'm willing to do whatever tweaking is necessary once converted to make it look good, but the more that can be done automatically the better. By the way, I've discovered that you can create a kindle ebook fairly easily that is just a file of rendered pages - simply alternate the <IMG> command with a mobipocket extension - <mbp:pagebreak /> and it generates a regular file that you can download and read like normal. (My previous effort meant that you had to download a directory of separate images in a zip file, which was not very convenient) [And yes, I know that imaged pages don't allow the user to change font size or justification options. For my purposes, I can live with that...] Btw, I'm not asking to avoid doing the research - I have identified several tools that might do some of the job - why I'm posting is to ask what you've used and how good your preferred converter is in practise - what the pitfalls are etc that they don't warn you about on the web page... thanks, Graham PS The ebook also has a simple table of contents and a few images, each on a page by itself. Nothing complicated.
