LaTeX2Web, a web authoring and publishing system

If you see this, something is wrong

Collapse and expand sections

To get acquainted with the document, the best thing to do is to select the "Collapse all sections" item from the "View" menu. This will leave visible only the titles of the top-level sections.

Clicking on a section title toggles the visibility of the section content. If you have collapsed all of the sections, this will let you discover the document progressively, from the top-level sections to the lower-level ones.

Cross-references and related material

Generally speaking, anything that is blue is clickable.

Clicking on a reference link (like an equation number, for instance) will display the reference as close as possible, without breaking the layout. Clicking on the displayed content or on the reference link hides the content. This is recursive: if the content includes a reference, clicking on it will have the same effect. These "links" are not necessarily numbers, as it is possible in LaTeX2Web to use full text for a reference.

Clicking on a bibliographical reference (i.e., a number within brackets) will display the reference.

Speech bubbles indicate a footnote. Click on the bubble to reveal the footnote (there is no page in a web document, so footnotes are placed inside the text flow). Acronyms work the same way as footnotes, except that you have the acronym instead of the speech bubble.

Discussions

By default, discussions are open in a document. Click on the discussion button below to reveal the discussion thread. However, you must be registered to participate in the discussion.

If a thread has been initialized, you can reply to it. Any modification to any comment, or a reply to it, in the discussion is signified by email to the owner of the document and to the author of the comment.

C.4 Sectioning and Table of contents

1 Sectioning and Table of contents

1.1 Sectioning Commands

Sectioning commands and numbering are handled recursively with an exclusive content detection and encoding.

Sections can be collapsed and expanded in LaTeX2Web.

Starred forms are implemented. The toc_entry optional parameter is currently ignored.

1.2 The Appendix

The \appendix command is implemented. For the time being, the appendix section numbering is done with incremented latin capitals.

1.3 Warning

The content of a document must consist in

  • some non section content, such as paragraphs, figures, etc....

  • followed by a sequence of sections of the same (top) level.

Similarly, a section must consist in

  • some non section content, such as paragraphs, figures, etc....

  • followed by a sequence of sections of the same level (LaTeX2Web will make sure that they are at a lower level).

1.4 Table of Content

The \tableofcontents command is ignored. A table of contents is generated on the web page at the user's request. This table of contents has no page number, since the web content has no page.

Lists of figures and tables are not currently implemented.

1.5 Style Parameters

  • secnumdepth to be done

  • tocdepth to be done
