:) Yes, and Sander wasn't the only one - several other folks commented on
:) how difficult the default fonts were to read on-line. They printed
:) beautifully (at least dvilj4 -> printer did, I never actually printed
:) the resulting PDF), but the on-line PDF looked very poor.
:)
:) I'm going to take a look at latex2html and and see if it is sufficient
:) to do the job. What would be really nice would be a 'dvi2html', since
:) then it should work no matter how the DVI file was created, whether
:) using LaTeX, or lower level TeX, or whatever.
My experience has been that dvipdf and latex2html generate crappy
output.
Instead of dvipdf, use pdflatex.
Haven't found a good replacement for latex2html.
I think texinfo works better for documentation that latex. Also, I
forgot to mention that autoconf/automake support it out of the box.
Just add a line like this to Makefile.am:
avrdude_TEXINFOS = avrdude.texi
>From the automake info file:
In `doc/Makefile.am' we see:
info_TEXINFOS = hello.texi
hello_TEXINFOS = gpl.texi
This is sufficient to build, install, and distribute the GNU Hello
manual.
