[Tex/LaTex] Latex to HTML conversion (basic explanation)

conversionhtmllatex2htmlpandoctex4ht

I have been looking around for an easy way to save my .tex into a .html file, but all the questions/answers are very technical, and I have not found one that is accessible to me/beginners. I have seen a bunch of names of presumably packages (hlatex? tex4ht?) but no basic explanation of 'how to', from A to Z. I mean, actually basic instructions (do i need to install anything? what? where do i run codes? etc..)
Anyone available to do that for me?
Thanks you SO much!!
Giulia.

[Tex/LaTex] Convert LaTeX to HTML

Using PDF as an intermediate format when converting from LaTeX to HTML is not a very good idea. LaTeX and HTML are both mostly structural markup languages, which means you use them to describe the document structure (sections, emphasize, formulas etc.), whereas PDF is mostly about the representation of your document on the screen or paper. When converting LaTeX to PDF, you lose much of the structural information, and it cannot be successfully recovered by conversion from PDF to HTML.

It is much better to convert LaTeX directly to HTML. There are number of ways (WayBack Archive) how to do that, one I would recommend is by using htlatex. It is probably already part of your TeX distribution, is very powerful and flexible, and its use can be as simple as running

htlatex mydocument.tex

If you tell us more about your environment (which operating system do you use, what is your TeX distribution, your text editor/LaTeX IDE, how you generated the PDF file etc.) we may be able to give you more details on how to use htlatex.

First, you should use \includegraphics only with .eps image format.

Then, you should try to compile your tex like this: .tex->.dvi->.html or .tex->.dvi->.ps->.html.
