Documents Live, a web authoring and publishing system
If you see this, something is wrong
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.
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.
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.
The blue button below that says "table of contents" is your tool to navigate in a publication.
The left arrow brings you to the previous document in the publication, and the right one brings you to the next. Both cycle over the publication list.
The middle button that says "table of contents" reveals the publication table of contents. This table is hierarchical structured. It has sections, and sections can be collapsed or expanded. If you are a registered user, you can save the layout of the table of contents.

With LaTeX2Web, figures and tables always appear where you put them. No more [htbp] or pagebreak to put your figures where you want them to be.
Figures and Tables are implemented. The loc parameter is ignored: the figure or table is placed in the flow of the document at the place where it occurs. Since double columns ore not implemented in LaTeX2Web, the starred forms of the environments are treated as if they were not starred.
caption numbering is implemented and the LaTeX captions are translated into their HTML equivalents. Cross references are implemented.
The subfigure command and environments are supported and are responsive, which means that the sub-figures layout will adapt to the size of the device.
As a generality, floating commands are not implemented since there is no page concept in LaTeX2Web.
LaTeX2Web does NOT support table related packages, including
to name a few. The very good reason for this is that most of these packages try to accomodate the limited available space in cells, or things in the same vein. This is not necessary because, natively, browsers wrap the text in the cells of HTML tables automatically. If you do want to create a new line within a cell, use the \newline command, although the result will be generally counter-productive.
LaTeX2Web implements the \cellcolor command of the colortbl package.
Using tables to create a image layout is not a good idea in LaTeX2Web. If you want to layout several figures, use the subfigure package, or simply use the following code if you do not want labels for your sub-figures.
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{image1.png}
\includegraphics{image2.png}
\end{figure}\marginpar is supported; it only takes into account the mandatory parameter. The margin note is always at the right of the text, justified left. \reversemarginpar and \normalmarginpar are ignored.
