Re: Does Cygwin support latex ?

Does Cygwin have latex or do I use tex ?

Cygwin's teTeX installation includes both tex and latex, as well as a number of other TeX-related programs. (TeTeX is described as a "complete TeX distribution"; these days, LaTeX is considered a required part of such a thing.)


I have an existing project and make file, possibly from Unix, and it uses latex and latex2html.

I have installed tex but it does not seem to have a tex2html command.

What commands and what packages do I need ?

LaTeX2HTML is actually a completely separate program from TeX/LaTeX/etc, though it (of course) processes LaTeX input files. I don't believe that there is currently a Cygwin package for it, so I suspect you'll need to install it directly.


The official LaTeX2HTML website is here: http://www.latex2html.org/; it contains downloads, though it seems fairly sparse on installation info.

In addition, http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/suvrit/work/l2h.html contains some basic instructions for installing it on Cygwin. A Google search on "latex2html cygwin" finds others as well.
