## C.5 Other LATEX to html translators

This short section gives pointers to a few other translators. I performed not extensive testing and make no thorough comparison.

LaTeX2html
  LaTeX2html is a full system. It is written in perl and calls LATEX when in trouble. As a consequence, LaTeX2html is powerful but it may fail on large documents, for speed and memory reasons. More information on LaTeX2html can be found at
  http://www.latex2html.org/
TTH
  The principle behind TTH is the same as the one of HEVEA: write a fast translator as a lexer, use symbol fonts and tables. However, there are differences, TTH accepts both TEX and LATEX source, TTH is written in C and the full source is not available (only `lex` output is available). Additionally, TTH insist on not using any kind of LATEX generated information and will show proper cross-reference labels, even when no .aux file is present. TTH output is a single document, whereas HACHA can cut the output of HEVEA into several files. (however there exists a commercial version of TTH that provides this extra functionality). TTH can be found at

TeX4ht
  TeX4ht is a highly configurable TeX-based authoring system dedicated mainly to produce hypertext. It interacts with TeX-based applications through style files and postprocessors, leaving the processing of the source files to the native TeX compiler. As a result, TeX4ht may be more powerful than HEVEA, but may also be more difficult to configure. More information on TeX4ht can be found at:

htmlgen
  The htmlgen translator is specialized for producing the Caml manuals. This is HEVEA direct ancestor and I owe much to its author, X. Leroy. See [htmlgen] for a description of htmlgen and a (bit outdated) discussion on LATEX to html translation.
