A..6.2 Installation

If config and test have run successfully, run install.bat from D:\Temp\l2h to install a full copy of LATEX2HTML under the folder specified by $prefs{'PREFIX'} on line 129 of prefs.pm. When the installation finishes, you should see the message:

Done. Have a lot of fun with LaTeX2HTML!

You can now delete the temporary installation structure that was built in D:\Temp\l2h if you want to save disk space, but if you edited any of the installation scripts I recommend keeping it around for a while until you are sure that your LATEX2HTML does everything that you want with real documents.

You should also copy the new .sty files installed by LATEX2HTML in D:\texutils\l2h\texinputs into your D:\localtexmf\tex\l2h folder. To allow MiKTeX to access them when running latex and pdflatex, do the following:

  • Click on Start|Programs|MiKTeX2|MikTeX Option,
  • Go to the Roots tab.
  • Click on a non-root entry such as D:\texutils and then the Add button.
  • Select D:\localtexmf\tex\l2h from the folder tree window, and it will be added to the folder list to be searched by MiKTeX when it runs.
  • Click on Apply,
  • Return to the General tab and click Refresh Now to refresh the database.

Finally, add D:\texutils\l2h\bin; to your path to make the latex2html command available from any document folder (this needs administrator privilege on an NT machine).

You should now be able to run latex, pdflatex or latex2html on a .tex input file to produce the appropriate output format/ This is a good time to test this by running all of them on a file tht you know to be syntactically correct..

In practice, you may wish to customize LATEX2HTML operation to your particular preferences, or for a particular document. The package offers you a wide range of options for customization, through the initialization file(s), as discussed in Section A.6.3
