Convert LaTeX to HTML

By -
Today I spent quite lots of time to figure out how to convert LaTeX source files to HTML documents. I was trying to install latex2html using fink. The installation of tetex-base failed quite a few times. Eventually I got latex2html installed using fink. Unfortunately, the conversion from my tex files to HTML documents again failed to read document parts. I finally gave up and remove my fink installations from my computer.

I then did a few minute google search to use htlatex from TeXShop since I have TeXShop installed in my Macbook. What I did is copy the file htlatex.engine from
 /Applications/Tex/TeXShop.app/Contents/Resources/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/TeX4ht/

into folder

/Users//Library/TeXShop/Engines/

Then, I am able to compile my tex files using htlatex in TeXShop. It works perfect!

Hi,

I tried to do the same thing but Texshop keeps producing a pdf in the Preview - any ideas?!

Thanks very much.

This report will provide you a list of 25 questions collected from Web provided by Google interview candidates. The list of questions is focus on CS fields. 2 Questions The question listed as follows are not ordered based on any criterion. The programming languages are required to be used are usually not specific. You can practice using Java, C++, C, C#, etc. For each problem, you need figure out at least one solution. If there are multiple solutions to the problem, make sure you understand how to analyze the efficiency (both time and space). Describe a data structure as well as operations on the data structure. What is the difference between function overloading and overriding? Given a superclass A, a subclass B of superclass A where B overrides a function foo() in A, an instance of class B, how to invoke foo() defined in class A? How to check if tw

Recursion in Computer Science

By -
Recursion is a method that defining a thing using the thing being defined in its definition. For example, we define an expression as a number, or a concatenation, in order, of an expression, an operand, and an another expression. The definition of an expression is recursive since the definition applies expressions. In Computer Science, "divide and conquer" is a very general programming strategy to solve problems. The idea of this strategy is based on simplifying a problem into small scaled same problems. For example, assuming we want to sort a list of books in a book store, we can partition the books to be sorted into multiple small groups of books. For each group, we can partition the books again, etc. When each small groups of books are sorted, we can combine the sorted groups of books together and eventually the whole book lot will be sorted. Recursion can be applied to write sorting algorithms based on the divide and conquer strategy. Indeed, the Quick Sort algori
