latex2html

The UZH latex corporate design is distributed with a latex2html script (by Andreas Säuberli). This repository includes additions to that script, implementing the following:

• Heading hierarchy is fixed. Now only the title attribute is tagged as <h1>. With --shift-heading-level-by=1, pandoc translates latex as follows:

  • \title --> h1
  • \section --> h2
  • \subsection --> h3
  • \frametitle --> h4
  • \subsubsection --> h4
  • \framesubtitle h5

  The python script fix_headers.py removes any skipped levels (e.g. if no subsections were used) and automatically detects and numbers duplicate headings.

• \bigbreak should be represented with <p>...</p> in the html. Solved: sed -e 's/\\bigbreak/\\par\n\n/g'

• <em> causes problems. Removed <em> and <strong>. This removes semantic markup, which is an accessibility feature!

• removed <span style="color: uzh@blue">. Mostly solved: sed command over html. requires --wrap=none setting in pandoc. fails when other html tag is nested in span.

• replace $\rightarrow$. Solved: sed -e 's/\$\s*\\rightarrow\s*\$/→/g'

• PDF images are converted to png before calling pandoc.

• --citeproc flag includes bibliography in html

• Videos are not present in html. Idea: Replace \movie with raw html. Has tendency to break other parts of the file.

Requirements

• ImageMagick
• Pandoc
