7.6 Home button

Add a Home button to the LATEX2HTML navigation panel. It is impolite to trap a reader inside a complex hypertext document with no built-in escape to the main documentation Web. A sample syntax for adding a Home button that provides a more graceful escape to your home page is:

\htmladdtonavigation{\htmladdnormallink
  {\htmladdimg{../home.gif}}{http://www.cv.nrao.edu/\~{}abridle/}}

This example (which could be placed anywhere in the document preamble) puts a button image home.gif, in this case from the directory above the .html output), into every navigation panel throughout the .html file cluster. In the example, the button is linked to my personal home page: substitute other links as appropriate! I have made a home.gif image that matches the default LATEX2HTML navigation-button style. You can copy a button from the version of this document on the NRAO Web for use with other LATEX2HTML-converted documents.

If you use the standard NRAO server-side includes, every page will automatically get the usual NRAO-wide navigation bar, but this will not include a link to your own home page.
