It can be used in connection with latex2html to produce families of indepoendent pages linked to each other with navigation buttons, and with hyperlinks produced by native cross references and citations. As latex2html is written in perl, it is easy to run the typographic version for good quality printing (especially when there are formulas) and the electronic version with hyperlink navigation from the same source. However I only used this to publish books for which the typography was required anyway, e.g. http://www.cert.fr/dcsd/PUBLIS/THESES/vincent/manuscrit_vincent/manuscrit_vincen t.html This approach needs thinking over for a website after parsing the latex2html doc, I guess. I usually produce families of electronic pages with perl scripts to have independency of contents wrt presentation and navigation (no frames for that, it's a mess with URL handling). -- Jean-Pierre
