This manual also exists in compressed Postscript, PDF, and as a bundle of HTML files.

> Abstract: HEVEA is a LATEX to HTML translator. The input language is a fairly complete subset of LATEX 2є (old LATEX style is also accepted) and the output language is HTML that is (hopefully) correct with respect to version 4.0 transitional.

> Recent versions of most browsers offer support for Unicode (ISO 10646) characters, albeit to different extents. HEVEA exploits this fact to translate various math symbols used in LATEX. As a result, almost the entire set of math symbols, including the `amssymb` ones, are correctly rendered. The use of the symbol font browsers is no longer the default.

> HEVEA understands LATEX macro definitions. Simple user style files are understood with little or no modifications. Furthermore, HEVEA customization is done by writing LATEX code.

> HEVEA is written in Objective Caml, as many lexers. It is quite fast and flexible. Using HEVEA it is possible to translate large documents such as manuals, books, etc. very quickly. All documents are translated as one single HTML file. Then, the output file can be cut into smaller files, using the companion program HACHA.

> HEVEA can also be instructed to output plain text or info files.

> Information on HEVEA is available at `http://hevea.inria.fr/`.
