Abstract:

This paper documents the author's configuration for generating online publications (such as this one) in HTML and PDF formats from LaTeX source. A self-contained directory tree is provided which includes an example conference paper, journal article, and book. Typing ``make install'' in the top-level directory conveniently generates a website containing the three example documents in both formats, with links to the ``hardcopy'' formats appearing at the bottom of each HTML page. Additionally, a slightly updated version of latex2html is provided that fixes some bugs affecting the examples of this paper.
