Cool - that does work.
Herman Then DocBook is a good option! It is less complex than LaTeX,

Herman documentation (on linuxdoc.org) is now standardized on
Herman DocBook!
I did fiddle a bit with DocBook some time ago - I wrote some online
help for a Gnome program (which I also wrote). DocBook is no picnic
either.
I tried it too. I used the sgmltools package. I gave it up because of
several reasons:
- the package was no longer maintained because Kees de Groot got a
good job and had no
more time for it.
- the paper output (postscript) was, even though produced via TeX much
worse than it
could be,
- the way of handling special objects like math formulas is not
compareable with TeX
- for 10 lines of information you have to write 3-5 lines of tags. I'm
hacking very
quickly but this is nothing for someone who is slow in typing and
really impossible
for wysiwig fans,
- l2h does the same thing and the result is better. At the moment I
would reconcider
using DocBook when 1) the markup is more flexible and more easy to
extend and 2) if
I have a free DocBook/SGML-Editor. On behalf of markup TeX is simply
better!

Being a new user in the LaTeX / TeX community, can someone suggest
some places on the web where I can start learning how to solve my own
problems.
For the Python programmers out there I am wondering if package
documentation something like the following exists:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/modindex.html
I too would love to see something like this for LaTeX packages! It
might be out there, but I don't know where to look.
BTW, all of that Python documentation was produced using latex2html.
Most of it but, oddly enough, not the specific file you pointed to.
;-) That was generated by post-processing two files of similar names
in the subdirs and re-writing the URLs with a Python script. The
"body" of the indexes (both General and Module) were constructed using
a Python script that scarfs up a bunch of data that the LaTeX2HTML
integration code for my document classes spits out.
On the whole, I've been reasonably impressed by LaTeX2HTML -- it
does a pretty good job of chunking things up, and is sufficiently
configurable via Perl code that I can make it do what I want most of
the time. Ross others in this forum have definately been a great
help -- I would not have been able to twist l2h to my needs without
their assistance.
That said, I still plan on moving away from LaTeX as a source format
in the medium term. There are increasing numbers of documentation
contributors who don't have LaTeX installed on their systems or don't
have the time to learn the markup that something else is called for.
I suspect many people here have seen this: as documentation projects
grow from something small (a few HTML pages) to something of
reasonable size, LaTeX starts to look quite attractive -- you can get
nice output for print HTML with less work. But as the resulting set
of documentation grows further and the number of contributors goes up,
it gets difficult for the editor to keep up with all the ways they can
break the markup.

I've found that the graphicx package is usually smart enough w/o
the driver option: ie. just use
\usepackage{graphicx}
but leave off the graphics files extensions.
If you're running regular latex, it'll look for .eps, if you run
pdflatex it'll look for .pdf

Dang... that was too easy! Is documentation on the graphicx package
available on the Web?
(i.e., without specifying the .eps or .pdf suffix) your pdflatex or
dvips will automatically insert the appropriate format (provided you
have both myfile.eps and myfile.pdf in your TeX search path!)
This is coolness. I'll need to play with it a bit to get format
conversions to happen nicely, but I can handle that.
Then DocBook is a good option! It is less complex than LaTeX, and
copes with the problem you mention: all Linux documentation (on
linuxdoc.org) is now standardized on DocBook!
DocBook is one option, but it is definately a little on the heavy
side, and I'm not convinced the available extension to support
documentation of OO constructs is quite right. I think I want
something a bit lighter for authoring.

pdfLaTeX jut found a PNG as well, which makes me happy. Now I just
need a good, portable way to convert from PNG to EPS...

I'm sure I can force it to look for .png, so that's ok. I don't
need transforms for screen snapshots! (Or so I hope! ;)

Re: [l2h] How do I use an EPS in PDF and HTML?
Hi Dave!
I use eps-graphics with latex and latex2html. for pdflatex I use the
epstopdf-tool availible at ctan. (Don't use a suffix in your
\includegraphics{}! That's the trick.
For an automatic conversion eps-pdf the following package was published at
de.comp.text.tex some month ago. As it was not uploaded to ctan the last
time I looked, I include it.

%If an eps image is detected, epstopdf is called

%
% Required: * The program `epstopdf'.

% * command line option: -shell-escape
% * configuraton file `texmf.cnf': shell_escape = 1
%
% Use: The package is loaded after graphic{s,x}, eg:
% \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
% \usepackage{epstopdf}
%Images with extension `.eps' are now detected
%and supported:
%* Implicitly: \includegraphics{bild}
% If `bild.eps' can only be found,

Re: [l2h] How do I use an EPS in PDF and HTML?
As far as I knom, pdflatex can not handle EPS grphics. Latex2Html handles them without any problem if you use the graphicx package.
