Abstract: H^EV^EA is a L^AT_EX to HTML translator. The input language is a fairly complete subset of L^AT_EX 2e (old L^AT_EX style is also accepted) and the output language is HTML that is (hopefully) correct with respect to version 4.0 transitional.

Exotic symbols are translated into symbols pertaining to the symbol font of the HTML browser, using the now standard FACE attribute of the FONT tag. This allows the translation to HTML of quite a lot of the symbols used in L^AT_EX.

H^EV^EA understands L^AT_EX macro definitions. Simple user style files are understood with little or no modifications. Furthermore, H^EV^EA customization is done by writing L^AT_EX code.

H^EV^EA is written in Objective Caml, as many lexers. It is quite fast and flexible. Using H^EV^EA 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 H^AC^HA.

H^EV^EA can also be instructed to output plain text or info files.
