If you see this, something is wrong

Collapse and expand sections

To get acquainted with the document, the best thing to do is to select the "Collapse all sections" item from the "View" menu. This will leave visible only the titles of the top-level sections.

Clicking on a section title toggles the visibility of the section content. If you have collapsed all of the sections, this will let you discover the document progressively, from the top-level sections to the lower-level ones.

Cross-references and related material

Generally speaking, anything that is blue is clickable.

Clicking on a reference link (like an equation number, for instance) will display the reference as close as possible, without breaking the layout. Clicking on the displayed content or on the reference link hides the content. This is recursive: if the content includes a reference, clicking on it will have the same effect. These "links" are not necessarily numbers, as it is possible in LaTeX2Web to use full text for a reference.

Clicking on a bibliographical reference (i.e., a number within brackets) will display the reference.

Speech bubbles indicate a footnote. Click on the bubble to reveal the footnote (there is no page in a web document, so footnotes are placed inside the text flow). Acronyms work the same way as footnotes, except that you have the acronym instead of the speech bubble.

Discussions

By default, discussions are open in a document. Click on the discussion button below to reveal the discussion thread. However, you must be registered to participate in the discussion.

If a thread has been initialized, you can reply to it. Any modification to any comment, or a reply to it, in the discussion is signified by email to the owner of the document and to the author of the comment.

1.1 Links to references

LaTeX2Web manages cross references in a way that is different from what hyperref implements in PDF files. The same holds for citations.

As a general rule, LaTeX2Web replaces the linking behaviour of hyperref in PDF documents by a system of its own that is adapted to interactive web content.

1.2 Table of contents

LaTeX2Web manages the table of contents on its own.

1.3 Remote images

LaTeX2Web uses its own command as follows:

\begin{image}
\url{https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9fya4wgacqow8enzfks7q/Logo-LaTeX2Web.jpeg?rlkey=0g316mrra2mo2ciicvuc1yv30&raw=1}
\alt{The LaTeX2Web logo}
\end{image}

This produces the LaTeX2Web logo.

1.4 Implemented commands

The following commands are implemented:

\url
\href
\ref*
\hyperimage only in text (the image is not displayed, it is only a link; if you want the image, use the image environment above)
\hyperref with the following two variants:

\hyperref{URL}{category}{name}{text}
\hyperref[label]{text}

\autoref

When the URL refers to a web page, this one is opened in a new tab.

When a email adress is in the document, it is obfuscated in the HTML output to avoid detection by spam bots.

1.5 Custom LaTeX2Web commands

\email will produce an email link with text set to 'Email'. The email link is obfuscated to make it more difficult for spam bots to read tha address.

Dynamic display of documents.
