Oh, I always skip that one. Took 40 seconds to open the LCL, and I never tried again. > All headings are hyperlinks (eg: 3.4 Pointers), but they seem to be > pointing to themselves. So quite pointless being hyperlinks. Still yes. That is a minor problem of the html converter I guess. Maybe it can be made of use, e.g. convert them into alinks when they are supported. Then such "pointers" link will refer to all "pointers" keywords by means of a popup. Across helpfiles. > > Because LaTeX is more than simple markup.

A C preprocessor can parse header files, but without knowing the usage of the header, I can't even guess the meaning of some stuff there (and that is fundamental, not lack of C knowledge!) > So far I can parse and convert some basic latex files ^^^^^ If you sufficiently dumb things down, there are never any problems:-) But that is not the problem in the case of latex->html conversion.
