This used to be a lot busier until I figured out that other
people were doing such things much better. As such this has
mutated into a list of metalinks to sites with comprehensive
HTML overviews. I still have a separate section about
Hypertext and TeX, though.
This is the UNIX/X11 client for Hyper-G, the first
second-generation,
publicly-available networked hypermedia information system running
over the Internet. It integrates hyperlinking, hierarchical
structuring, sophisticated search, and access control facilities
into a single system, and is interoperable with other network
information tools like Gopher, WWW and WAIS. The source code is
not yet available but binaries are available for HP, SGI,
Linux. OSF, Sun and ULTRIX platforms at the
Hyper-G FTP site.

HTML and the Web in the press, etc. compiled by Nikos Drakos,
the creator of LaTeX2HTML.

A list of Frequently Asked Questions about Web page backgrounds.
Probably the most valuable part of this is the information about
choosing colors.
[http://www.sci.kun.nl/thalia/guide/color/faq.html]
A package that allows the use of LaTeX to prepare documents
in HTML and hardcopy. It provides an authoring environment for
writing printed documents and HTML documents at the same time,
using an extended subset of LaTeX which excludes concepts that have
no HTML counterpart and adds commands for HTML concepts such as
hyperlinks or included images. The author was dissatisfied with
LaTeX2HTML and decided to follow the model
of texinfo rather than that of LaTeX2HTML when developing
Hyperlatex. The use of this requires the Emacs editor.

The folks who developed this state that "it is easier to add
hypertext capability to TeX than to simulate the TeX typesetting
environment within www browsers" (which is what
LaTeX2HTML attempts to do).
The gist of the HyperTeX paradigm is to insert TeX "\special"
commands to add the necessary structure to the .dvi file.
This structure will be ignored by .dvi processors that don't
understand it, and properly processed by those that do. An
example of the latter is a modified xdvi previewer called
xhdvi. Many more links to related concepts and projects
are offered at the indicated URL.
[http://xxx.lanl.gov/hypertex/]
This is a project which attempts to translate LaTeX source
code to which additional hypertext commands have been added directly
to HTML. A LaTeX .sty file is used to translate the resulting
source code to a .dvi file, and thus to hardcopy, while a large
Perl script is used to translate the same into an HTML document.
The main limitation is that one cannot do with an HTML document
everything that one can do with a LaTeX document, i.e. HTML
browsers can currently translate only a small subset of the
typesetting commands available in LaTeX, although a surprising
number of pragmatic rather than aesthetic things can be done.
There is a
LaTeX2HTML Archive Site which contains bug fixes and other
relevant information. Quite a bit of work is being done by people other
than the creator of LaTeX2HTML, Nikos Drakos, since he has left
the employ of the organization for whom he originally created it
and no longer has time to work on it.

This takes a BibTeX bibliography and formats it into HTML. It
can also create links to arbitrary URLs and PostScript, PDF, or
DVI versions of the papers. It comes with a CGI script to allow
the bibliography to be searched.
