🌸 NAME 🌸

sl2h — a simple latex to HTML converter, bestie. that's it, that's the girl 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sl2h [-show-unknowns] [-html-quotes] [file ...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so sl2h is a simple converter that takes stuff in latex(1) format and turns it into HTML — like, the kind you can actually open in netscape(1) or Mosaic(1). yes those are real programs, they're giving vintage and we respect it 🫶

here's the tea on the flags:

• -show-unknowns — if you pass this, any LaTeX control sequences it doesn't recognize show up in bold in the output. lowkey a great way to spot the strays 👀
• -html-quotes — pass this and sl2h converts LaTeX double-quote ligatures into HTML 4 double-quote entities. fancy quotes, but make it markup ✨

and the icon behavior nobody asked about but we're obsessed with: sl2h uses the LaTeX-generated .toc and .bbl files to help create the table of contents and the bibliography. it's reading your aux files, it's doing the work, it's a whole vibe 📚

💀 BUGS 💀

so… you can tell sl2h about new control sequences by putting special TeX comments in your documentation chunks. cute, right?

but there's no documentation for it. none. zero. nada. 😭

the man page literally says: "Use the source, Luke." so bestie, if you wanna know, you're reading the source. that's the assignment. may the force be with your grep 🔥
