Desperately need help for html to LaTeX conversion

Because my previous thread had no reply that could help
me, I start it again.

I am very depressed now with the following problem.

I have a set of html files, must be human readable (as some of the
output tools produce human readable LaTeX)

that I want to convert to human readable latex.

The program by
http://in.geocities.com/ad_rab/

produces human unreadable tex. and i could not see the compiled
resulting dvi.

The gnu program produces human readable latex, but does not handle all
the tags.

the C program by Faase ??? produces human readable latex but misses a
few tags.

The C program is unreadable by me so I cant modify it.

On sourceforge there are two programs one in Perl and the other in
Java.

The perl one does not run due to path problems.

The java one produces complicated latex, possibly human readable, but
that does not compile so I could not see its quality.

Does someone have a program? I prefer a well documented and fully
commented program that one can modify or one that can do the job
without the need for understanding its operation.

Please help. The situation is very desperate.

Is there a html-merging tool that can merge a set of html files into a
single html file and resolve the links and cross-references with
minimal changes to the rest of the portions of the html, ie not
scramble the rest of the file.

I know some awk/perl/sed/python/scheme/lisp will do it.

Re: Desperately need help for html to LaTeX conversion

Have you tried Google with the following search terms: html latex?

Two links pop up right away

1) http://www.iwriteiam.nl/html2tex.html

2) http://www.rpi.edu/~sofkam/html2tex.html

I suggest you use those as a starting point. Also keep in mind that
you may have to do some "work" to have them formatted the way you
want. These tools will likely help as a starting point, but I have
never used them myself.

Also forgot to mention....you only waited what appears to be 3 minutes
for a reply before posting again. Patience is a virtue my friend....

XSLT is your friend, if the other tools don't work. Using XSLT you can
easily write your own converter, given the HTML is not too messy and
complicated.

Since this is probably the only line vaguely IT in clpmisc, to make it
*really* IT, you should point us to what the hell "the perl one" is
and how it exactly fails to run. And even then it wouldn't be fully
IT, because we generally discuss Perl here, not software that happens
to be written in Perl. But in all earnestness there are some chances
that if you take the above steps someone will be able to help you.

Why? I don't see the PostScript connection.

Such blatant cross posting, while it might seem the obvious way to get
more people to see it and reply, might actually be extremely
counterproductive...
